● Many instruments in Dorico Elements have different types that show alternative clefs by

default. You can select the appropriate instrument type from the instrument picker when

adding or changing instruments.

PROCEDURE

1. In Write mode, do one of the following:

● Start note input.

● Select an item on the staff and at the rhythmic position where you want to input a clef.

Optional: If you want to input clefs onto multiple staves at once, extend the caret to those

staves.

Press Shift-C to open the clefs and octave lines popover.

Enter the appropriate entry for the clef you want into the popover.

For example, enter bass for a bass clef or alto for an alto clef.

Press Return to close the popover.

RESULT

During note 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.

Clefs apply to all notes on the staff until the next clef or the end of the ow, whichever comes

rst.
