![]() I am attaching a score that I created by newing the file from a template. More faster: I drag and drop my file onto the icon of MuseScore. You said: "I am really trying to find a simple and bulletproof way for a newcomer to create guitar scores that do not use the clef with the 8."Īs already said, for an easy solution and efficient workaround, temporary maybe, place simply these files on your desktop. ![]() When you say "dragging a treble clef onto the score will or course cause the notes to be lowered by an octave", it was a general "observation" before the use of these templates? I don't see that here for now (after opening the template and after changing for the treble clef)ĮDIT: ah, perhaps misunderstood. You said: "Dragging a treble clef onto the score will of course cause the notes to be lowered by an octave so it is not a solution. And there, the treble clef is present as expected at the opening. ), you have only to classify these files to a folder on your desktop to open them quickly, and reuse them at will as before. Or more simply, as I often do (because I own a lot of templates. So, as said, just change the clef at opening. Indeed, as template, the treble clef is not preserved. Moreover, I will place it in my own templates folder!Ģ) Template Guitar treble clef + linked Tab.mscz To help you, I have prepared these templates that you can reuse it at will. For Tab in linked staves, you have to edit the strings, so: Right-click on the Tab -> Staff properties -> Edit String Data -> Edit string: ie E5 (instead of E4), B4 instead of B3, and so on: G4/G3, D4/D3, A3/A2, E3/E2 -> Ok For the standard staff: click-right on the staff -> Staff Properties -> Play transposition -> Change octave: 0 to 1, and tick "Down" -> Ok So, we have a workaround that achieves the desired result, both with standard staff and linked staves Standard / TABĪnd so, you will can recommend warmly now MuseScore to other instrumentalists ! :) However, I fully understand and respect your views and your preference. And when at last they see it and they ask the question, it is a good and easy way to approach teaching of the transposition :) In my experience, people little trained musically and the students, young and less young, do not ever notice this clef! Simply. Seeing the 8 would make no sense to them, and providing scores with the 8 would not be accepted by a number of publications." The three following volumes are in treble clef 8vb!Ģ) "FWIW, many guitarists read music but have had no formal musical training. Sometimes, it's even a little funny, you have both clefs in the same collection.įor instance, Schott, in a work in four volumes ("Romantic Guitar Anthology" /Jens Franke arranger ): the first volume is in treble clef. That said, I will not go into the counting of my library to see who wins! No time for this! :)ĭitto among the European publishers (Schott, Henry Lemoine, etc.), or often, if not all the time, from the same publisher, the use of these clefs seems extremely changeable. (To support my words, I own the exact references if you want.) But it is possible that the treble clef is more frequent in your country. Among US publishers (Hal Leonard, Mel Bay, GSP eg), I meet the two clefs in differents books. It is very difficult to know which clef is the most used nowadays (regular treble clef, or treble clef 8vb). You guys do good work.ġ) "In my experience with printed guitar music, at least in the USA, the treble clef without the 8 is used far more commonly than the version with the 8." The difficulty of creating guitars that comform to this idiom is the main reason I do not use MuseScore for my guitar scores, and do not recommend it to other guitarists, though I do recommend MuseScore to other instrumentalists. It would also be great to have prebuilt guitar instruments that used this clef. (Call it a "guitar treble clef" perhaps). I would like to request a separate clef that included the transposition but hid the 8. ![]() Seeing the 8 would make no sense to them, and providing scores with the 8 would not be accepted by a number of publications. I think that many guitarists would find it very useful to be able to easily create guitar instruments with or without linked TAB staves that use this common idiom of having the built-in octave transposition.įWIW, many guitarists read music but have had no formal musical training. ![]() I have tried using a normal treble clef and then transposing in the score, but it messes up the linkage with linked TAB staves. Especially in non-classical guitar music, but in many cases for classical guitar as well, and in guitar magazines and websites, the music is shown written an octave higher than sounding but using the "normal" treble clef. In my experience with printed guitar music, at least in the USA, the treble clef without the 8 is used far more commonly than the version with the 8. ![]()
