How to notate original soprano clef + modern treble clef in the same system?

• Apr 6, 2025 - 00:29

Hi everyone!

I'm working on entering the Minuet BWV Anh. 116 into MuseScore, and I came across a specific type of notation in the Neue Bach Ausgabe urtext edition that I’d like to replicate.

At the beginning of the score, it first shows the original soprano clef (for the right hand), and then immediately switches to the modern treble clef so it’s easier to read. The left hand uses the bass clef as usual.

Does anyone know how to do this in MuseScore? I’d love to include this kind of clef notation in my score.

Thanks in advance!

I thought that since this measure is non-functional, but affects playback, it makes sense to use a vector image instead of a real measure.
This will start playback with the correct measure.
To insert an image, first
1. Add a Horizontal Frame before the first measure (Menu - Add - Frames - Insert horizontal frame)
2. In the frame that appears, right-click - Add - Image and select the svg file that I attached.
3. Click on the image that appears and set the Scale to frame size flag in the properties.
4. The image will not fit perfectly by default, but you can manually adjust its dimensions.

To create this vector image, I used the svg export from Musescore and then cropped the image in Inkscape.
