more details on the problem with the clef change

• Jan 22, 2012 - 18:25

I did a copy and paste of the first change from bass to treble clef. The second one is the one that malfunctions.
I tried deleting the treble clef, thinking I would rewrite it in bass clef so it would sound correctly, but the clef won't delete..
Then I deleted the entire 2 measure that malfunctioned, but rewriting it manually didn't help either. I finally gave up, since the printed copy of the music is correct. But of course the playback for those two bars is terrible.
What was interesting is when I first changed clefs, before I redid it, I went from treble clef to bass clef. I had the same problem..top line 'A; in bass clef sounded as top line F in treble clef, even though I had changed from treble to bass clef.

There is no need to delete the clef sign - simply drag and drop the new clef sign on the bar and it will replace what is there. Make sure it is near the front of the bar as clef signs can be inserted within bars.

I have occasionally seen clef corruption as well - a clef that can't be deleted. I don't remember it having an adverse effect on playback, but maybe that's because the spurious clef in my cases was actually the same as the previous clef. And I don't know how I got there, either.

I think in the several hundred pages worth of scores I have done in MuseScore, I've only seen this twice, and not for many months. But I don't tend to use as many clef changes as I would if I were writing a lot of piano scores.
