It's probably worth noting that by far most uses of octavated clefs are for the purpose of correctness (similar to "transposition in xxx"): the player/singer would not actually execute the piece differently if the octavation was omitted from the clef.
I can think of one exception: modern-clef renditions of old music where the alto and tenor voices might switch between treble and treble_8 liberally between movements. However, even in this case the ambitus usually tells the story at a glance. Octavated clefs are also useful for ensemble players to let them understand the desired pitch even when not playing the instrument themselves. At any rate, I don't know of any situation where the octavation of a clef would change except between movements, so the necessity for a strong imprint seems low. https://codereview.appspot.com/8359043/ _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
