...In passing I also note the use of the C-clef, but in an unusual position that makes it the same as a conventional G-clef. Regards, Martin -------- End Forwarded Message Excerpt -------- The unusual C-clef is actually the same effect as using \clef "treble_8" but with a different symbol. Middle C ends up on the third space. For me, that "ladder" clef symbol instantly identifies the song as a TTBB men's chorus arrangement. I'm attaching a PNG with a more-typical example of what I'm used to. LilyPond's standard C-clef symbol is something I hadn't seen outside of the software until two days ago, when I found it in an early-1900s men's chorus songbook at a garage sale. (The book was something like this one: https://archive.org/details/youngmenschorusc00adam ) Is there any way to get that ladder-style C-clef in LilyPond? Although I can live with treble_8, typical TTBB men's chorus audiences here would expect the ladder. I remember seeing a discussion for generating a very similar symbol, but the right side of the ladder had "flags" going out from the top and the bottom. -- Karlin High Missouri, USA
