Adding Clefs

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

You can add clef changes at the beginning or middle of any measure of any staff in the score.

Clef information is not stored in MIDI files. Therefore, in transcribing a MIDI file, Notation Player guesses what the clefs should be based on a number of factors. Usually Notation Player makes good guesses, but these guesses will not always be correct. You can correct the clefs by following the procedure below.

prcarrow To insert a clef:

1.Choose the Add Clef command in the Edit menu.

The mouse cursor will turn into this shape: adding_clefs        

2.Click the mouse anywhere in the measure where you want the clef to be added or changed.

Notation Player will present you with the following dialog box:

clefdlg

3.Choose the clef from the dialog box by using the up and down arrows to spin through the various choices.
4.Click the OK to complete the change.

Notation Player will apply the clef from its location up to the next measure where there is a different clef.

prcarrow To change a clef:

B846Follow the same instructions as above, adding the new clef "on top" of the old one.

prcarrow To remove a clef:

B846Follow the same instructions as above, choosing a clef that is the same as the other clef immediately preceding the clef which you wish to remove.
