That one would tell me to take it up one octave in that measure.

Up an octave would be notated as 8va.

True, but you'd be surprised all the things that charts tell me to do,
that the writer never intended!

I think I've seen that episode - the camera pans across bandstand during
a lively latin tune, we see sweaty scantily clad women dancing, maybe
there were tambourines. The bass player suddenly and mercilessly
bludgeons the drummer to death with a mic stand.

The two CSI dudes arrive and the maniacal bass player, covered in blood,
points a crooked finger at the music stand and croaks "The charts told
me to do it!!".

The minor CSI dude says "The last page has been torn off"
The lead CSI dude says "It looks like we're in uncharted territory"

Roll 'Who' song and opening credits.

If it was Latin music it must have been CSI-Miami so there had to be some
serious sunglass gestures in that last scene.
