Same name for 2 Clefs
Two clefs have the same name : Baritone clef.
- C Clef of the 5th line
- F Clef of the 3rd line
Only one string exist in the .ts file, so after translation one Clef have a wrong name...
Was "par hazard" I find out during verification of translation of the r1753 prerelease.
Issue present in the oldest prerelease I have r1344.
My best regards

The correct name for both clefs is indeed "baritone clef", but they should be listed as e.g. "baritone (C)" and "baritone (F)" respectively.
Yes I know it ! And I know also why historically these two Clefs exists and what is the difference, I will never use an F Clef in place of a C Clef.
My mind was to point the attention on only one string exist in the .ts file, you should reread my post.
It's because we, and others countries, don't use the english name, Baritone Clef does not make sense for us.
In order to keep the coherence of names and strings in MuseScore, it will be better to name these 2 Clefs :
- Baritone Clef (C Clef)
- Baritone Clef (F Clef)
It wasn't -- and after a reread still isn't -- obvious in your bug report that you are an expert on clefs, or even that you knew the difference between a C-baritone clef and an F-baritone clef. If you were offended by my comment, I do apologize. Let's see how Werner resolves the string problem.
The problem is, the issue tracker is not there to give training course on musical notation or in french "Solfège", the difference between our own languages and tradition make translations quite difficult in respect of everybody.
As Werner and Others decide MuseScore translated, I think would be "As best as possible", so I point out each translation problem I encounter.
So if Werner decide to give not the possibility to translate those strings I will leave unstranslated.
Is the string "Baritone Clef" used in other places than in the mouse cursor label in the Clefs window or palette?
JL! Is the terminology used at http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clef_(musique) the one you are using in your French translation?
I think not, but if an instrument is created with these Clefs, only one name will appear in the instrument list of the score.
Magnus,
Not exactly, as this Wiki is a good beginning for young students, I use the training course I have from the conservatory (one of many in Paris) many years ago, and some books from Michel Baron and Marcel Perez; and sure my own experience with instrumentists and chorists.
So, as the name for those Clefs in english is a shortcut for their sounding, instrumentists and chorist does not interpret in the same way, it's why latin roman culture as french use different names.
In order to keep the exact name for english people, I think we can add in parenthesis the reference note of the Clef.
- Baritone Clef (C Clef)
- Baritone Clef (F Clef)
JL, in comment #7, which one of my two questions in comment #5 and 6 respectively were you answering?
OK; would you like to give me the French clef names you are using?
This is what we have:

"Treble Clef 8va bassa" "Clef de Sol Ottava Bassa"
"Bass Clef (F Clef)" "Clef de Fa"
"Bass Clef 8va bassa" "Clef de Fa Ottava Bassa"

Ok, all clefs must have different names so that the qt linguist tool does not optimize one name away. I extended the baritone clef names as suggested in #8.
Thanks Werner, I understand our different languages are quite personnal. I appreciate your effort.
