I use Notion for iOS to arrange music for women’s barbershop singing groups, the lower parts are traditionally written on the bass clef and sung an octave up (8va), unfortunately Notion has this for the treble clef but only an 8vb for the bass clef.  :-(

This would help when writing scores for recorder ensembles

Because of lower interval limits making some music sound muddy, this is crucial in my humble opinion. With the mp3 export feature in mind, assignments and or grand staff lead sheets intending to show accompanying harmonies written along with their intended intervals, etc. could benefit from this feature. I even tried out of desperation to write it on the bass clef with the handwriting tool!
