Entering and editing notes
Moving clefs
Clefs inserted into the score have an effect on how notes
are displayed. If you for example insert a bass clef in the
middle of a treble staff, the staff switches to show bass
pitches. Therefore it is very important where you insert the
clef.
If you want to move the clef graphically, without disturbing
the relation between the clef and the notes, proceed as
follows:
1. Select the Layout tool.
This is available in Page Mode only.
2. Click and move the clef just as with the normal Object
Selection tool.
Now the clef is moved, but the score is still interpreted as if it remained in
its original position.
Ö When you inserted a clef change in the score, you can
decide whether this should have the same size as the first
(default) clef symbol or whether it should be displayed
with a smaller symbol. Simply right-click the symbol and
activate or deactivate “Display Clef Changes as small
Symbols”, respectively.
Ö When “Warnings for new Clefs at Line Breaks” is ac-
tivated on the Clef context menu and you inserted a clef
change at a line break in the score, the Clef change sym-
bol will be inserted in the last bar before the staff break.
When this is deactivated, the symbol will be inserted in
the first bar of the next staff line.
