The Clef and Transposition Overrides dialog allows you to change the transposition and default clefs in individual layouts. This allows you to show the music of the same player with different clefs and/or transpositions in different layouts.

  • You can open the Clef and Transposition Overrides dialog in Setup mode by selecting a layout in the Layouts panel, then clicking Layout Settings in the action bar and choosing Clef and Transposition Overrides.

    Tip
    • You can also right-click layouts and choose this option from the context menu.

    • You can assign a key command for opening the Clef and Transposition Overrides dialog on the Key Commands page in Preferences.

Clef and Transposition Overrides dialog

The Clef and Transposition Overrides dialog contains the following:

  1. Clef/Transposition overrides table

    Displays each instrument in the layout in its own row. The first column displays the instrument name. The other columns indicate whether or not each instrument has the corresponding type of override.

    Remove Overrides in the action bar at the bottom of the table allows you to remove all overrides from the selected instrument.

  2. Transposed pitch section

    Contains overrides for the default clef and/or transposition used when the layout is set to transposed pitch.

    • Clef for [n] staff: Allows you to override the default clef for the corresponding staff. The number of clef overrides available depends on the number of staves the instrument normally has.

    • Written middle C sounds as: Allows you to override the transposition by changing the sounding pitch that results from a notated middle C.

  3. Concert pitch section

    Contains overrides for the default clef and/or transposition used when the layout is set to concert pitch.

    • Clef for [n] staff: Allows you to override the default clef for the corresponding staff. The number of clef overrides available depends on the number of staves the instrument normally has.

      Note

      In order to override clefs for concert pitch, you must first override the corresponding clef for transposed pitch.

    • Written middle C sounds as: Allows you to override the octave of the sounding pitch that results from a notated middle C.
