The sound is 1 octave to high

My associated problem is that as printed the clarinet part was an octave too low. I transposed up by 12 semitones which worked, but the notes have been retained on the bass clef, and are off the stave. I want to change the clef to treble. Can this be done?

Hi,

To change the clef from bass to treble (or otherwise), just (1) double-click the clef symbol and (2) select the clef you want from the scroll list then click "Ok." All set

Thanks Sherry for the quick reply. I haven't done as you suggest as I realised, after posing the question, that the instrument on my Clavinova 503 that I was using was a sax NOT a clarinet! If I had needed to use your suggestion, would the actual notes have been the same on the treble clef as on the bass clef?. Thanks again

The note pitches remain the same. The only difference is that the clef, and therefore which line/space the note shows up changes. Eg. an "E" that is on the second ledger line above the bass clef staff would be on the bottom line of the treble clef staff if you changed a staff with bass clef to treble clef. Make sense?

Sherry, it makes absolute sense, thank you. Excuse my beginner's use of expressions - "PITCH" was the word I wanted - I have only just joined the Notation family with a trial membership. I am in my 80th year, and bought a Yamaha Clavinova 503 last week. My piano experience dates from my teenage years in the '40's up to Grade 4 only, so there has to be a long learning curve.

No problem at all - there's always a lot of attendant "jargon" in any area of life I don't know it all yet, either

That's wonderful that you've gotten yourself a nice Clavinova and are pursuing piano. I hope that you find either Notation Musician or Notation Composer (not sure which you're trying out) to be useful in that endeavor.

Merry Christmas!
