English term or phrase: Compass of an octave
Io avrei tradotto con "battuta di un'ottava", ma non sono sicura. Qualche esperto di musica può consigliarmi una traduzione più appropriata? Grazie.

Contesto: One of the two harps depicted in pharaon's tomb has 13 strings; where if the longest string
represented pros-lambanomenos, the remaining 12 strings would more than supply all the tones, semitones,
and quarter-tones, of the diatonic, chromatic, and enharmonic genera; within the compass of an octave.
