Score Bass clef instrument isn't showing

Dorico
1

I’ve selected a Bass Clarinet: “B Flat, Bass Clef Full Score”. But it’s not showing up as a Bass Clef in the Score: it’s a Treble Clef.

It works on my other computer. Is there a setting somewhere?

2

Can you select the initial clef and delete it?

3

No: it happens for a newly created instrument. There is no explicit clef.

4

Try moving userlibrary.xml somewhere and restarting Dorico. I’m not sure any setting there would cause it. But, good to rule it out.

Ah: It only shows a Bass Clef in Concert Pitch, not in Transposed Pitch. Is that a bug? The score I’m transcribing has it in a Bass Clef.

6

Not a bug. The instrument definitions have only concert and transposed clef definitions.

7

So, you want a Transposed score and in Bass Clef? Do a Clef and Transposition override on the Score so the Player Part is still in TC.

Edit: Fixed mistakes.

8

Hmm. The Sounds 8va doesn’t seem to make a difference. I have to do a Clef and Transposition -8 to the Score.

Yeah, I just edited that mistake out of my post. LOL
