You can change the clef shown in individual cues, independently of your project-wide settings.

You can show different clefs for the same cue in each layout in which it appears. For example, you can show a cue with a treble clef in a full score layout but with a bass F clef in the corresponding part layout.

Prerequisite

  • The lower zone is shown.

  • Properties is selected in the lower zone toolbar.

  • If you are in Engrave mode, Graphic Editing Graphic Editing button is selected in the Engrave toolbox.

Procedure

  1. In the music area, open the layout in which you want to change the clef shown in cues. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
  2. Select the labels of the cues whose clef you want to change.
  3. In the Properties panel, activate one of the following properties in the Cues group:

    • Concert clef: Shown if the layout uses concert pitch

    • Transposed clef: Shown if the layout uses transposed pitch

  4. Select one of the following clefs from the menu:

    • None: Uses the clef of the destination instrument instead of the clef of the source instrument.

    • Treble

    • Alto

    • Tenor

    • Bass

    The same clefs are available for each property.

Result

The clef shown in the selected cues is changed.

Tip

You can change whether the clef of the source instrument or destination instrument is used in all cues project-wide on the Cues page in Engraving Options.
