Bass and treble clef simultaneously

Is there a smart way to achieve this in Dorico? Keeping notes in treble clef and adding a bass clef simultaneously

Given the configuration and the clef placement, I would say you will have to create a fake F clef as a playing technique and enter As in the treble clef for the lower voice?

Cool, thank you so much. I didn’t need to work with playing techniques yet, but will figure out. The picture you made is fully convincing! Thank you!

Custom Playing Techinques are very useful in many occasions, indeed!

Yesterday, I was showing in this short video a way to create a brace as a PT: it is exactly the same process for a clef (except that in the “Range” column, you click on “Clefs” instead of “Staff brackets”.)

Braces for lyrics

Just in case you need it, since creating a PT allows you to re-use it as much as you want, in this file or in another one, here is the process:

Are the playing techniques what are positioned automaticly to the right/left side of a note?

I think it is more like above or below, but in Engrave Mode, you can move them around anywhere. For this reason, it is sometimes useful to create articulations, like accents, in PT. Much more flexible for editing!
