Changing the Clef Sign

By default, when you view a Software Instrument track as music notation, it shows the
treble and bass clefs in “piano style.” This format is useful for pianos, synthesizers, and
other instruments with a wide range of notes. However, some instruments, particularly
solo (single-note) instruments such as strings and winds, can use only a single clef, the
treble or bass clef.

You can change the score view display to show only a single treble or bass clef, and
later change it back to the “piano style” two-clef display.

To change the clef sign in score view:

1

Click the clef (or between the clefs) in the header of the score display.

A menu appears showing the different clefs.

2

Choose a new clef from the menu.

Click here to choose
a different clef.
