Overriding the default clef for layouts

You can override the default clef shown for each instrument in each layout independently, for example, to have multiple layouts with different clefs for the same player in pieces for flexible instrumentation.

Note

Overriding the default clef does not change any clefs you have input explicitly.

Prerequisite

You have created the layouts whose default clef you want to override, and assigned the required players and flows to them.

Procedure

  1. In the Layouts panel, right-click the layout whose default clef you want to override and choose Clef and Transposition Overrides from the context menu to open the Clef and Transposition Overrides dialog.
  2. In the table, select the instrument whose default clef you want to override.
  3. In the Transposed pitch section, activate each staff whose default clef you want to override.
  4. Select the clef you want from each menu.
  5. In the Concert pitch section, activate each staff whose default clef you want to override.
  6. Select the clef you want from each menu.
  7. Optional: Repeat steps 2 to 6 for other instruments in the layout whose default clef you want to override.
  8. Click OK to save your changes and close the dialog.

Result

The default clef for the corresponding staves of the selected instruments is changed in the selected layout.
