Tenor Clef
I'm currently using Musescore 1.3. I'm trying to write a score for TTBB using the 'C' Tenor Clef like a 'H', but I don't find this anywhere in the Palette. I checked even MS 2.0 version. Why is this clef not provided in the Palette?

Tenor Clef is available in 2.0, in the Advanced Workspace and in the Master Palette.
It is available in 1.3 too. No idea why you don't see it?

I think he specifically means the old kind that looks like an "H", as he said, not the modern C-clef typography. Surely, although MuseScore supports historical notation well, it does not cater to antique typography ("font"), I would think...

Bravura may have it though

I knew nothing of the history here, and I had to look it up.

The historical forms aren't familiar to me at all, but it's interesting stuff!

So the question is how to use the symbol in MuseScore.
In reply to So the question is how to use by Isaac Weiss
Bravura does have one example - called 'C clef (19th century)' - that could easily be placed onto a palette if its appearance is found acceptable. (There are others, too, if you keep scrolling through the Symbols in the Master Palette dialogue.) The kludge solution would be to make the 'normal' tenor clef signs invisible after system breaks have been determined and then place the substitute symbol at the start of each system. But I guess that's obvious - and equally obvious that it's a kludge that doesn't enable the symbol actually to function as a clef sign. :-/

Thank you friends. Looks like I will have to manage with the available standard tenor clefs.

I just discovered that the C Tenor Clef, in the shape of an 'H', is available in MuseScore v.2 under "Symbols".
I just started trying out v.2 and it looks fantastic with great features. Hats off to you.

Yes, that's the one I've been talking about. It won't really act line a clef though, so you'd need to use the standard tenor clef, make it invisible and then place that symbol over it.
It shouldn't be too difficult to get it added to the palette as a real clef, but that has to be done in the code...
