RESULT
During step input, clefs are input at the caret position. Note input continues after inputting the
clef, so you can continue inputting notes and clefs as required.
When you add clefs to existing music, clefs are added directly before a selected notehead, and
apply to all notes on that staff until the next clef, or the end of the ow.
When you change existing clefs, the new clef directly replaces the selected clef.
Clefs apply to all notes on the staff until the next clef, or the end of the ow.

Inputting clefs with the panel
You can input clefs using the Clefs panel, both during step input and by adding them to existing
music.
In Dorico Elements, you cannot hide clefs. Therefore, if you do not want to show any clef, you
must input an invisible clef.
NOTE
These steps describe inputting with the default mouse input preference of Create item at
selection.
