There are two main possibilities, depending on the context. When referring to pitches, it most likely indicates the octave a pitch is in, according to "Helmholtz notation":

An octave begins on the pitch C. Middle C is notated in this system with one prime, as c'; g' would be the G a fifth above it. An octave above middle C would take two primes as c'', and so forth.

In letters used for musical form, the prime symbol would likely stand for a varied repetition of a given section. For instance, while the written form ABA would indicate a literal, note-for-note return of the first A section (after the B section), the form ABA' would tell you that the A section is altered the second time around. Multiple primes can indicate further variants, as in ABA'BA''.

The second letter of an element's symbol is written in lowercase to distinguish it from the first letter, which is always uppercase.

For example, the symbol for carbon is "C," while the symbol for calcium is "Ca." This capitalization system ensures consistency and clarity in the representation of chemical elements.
