View in Concert Pitch: Switch Clef

Dorico
#1

Hi.

When you view a score in Concert Pitch, it would be very nice if Dorico could switch instruments like Bass Clarinet or Bari Sax to bass clef.
6+ ledger lines are somewhat unreadable :open_mouth: :laughing:

Thanks, E.

Brass instruments such as treble clef Euphonium do exactly what youā€™re asking for.

#3

Thanks, steveparker, Iā€™ve noticed that.
Unfortunately, some of the lower wood instruments donā€™t.

#4

Strangeā€¦

#5

I think you have to specify ā€˜Bass clef full scoreā€™ when setting up or changing instrumentā€¦ (right column)

Thanks, fratveno. I will check when Iā€™m back to my workbench.
I canā€™t remember there being more than one type of Bass Clarinet or Baritone Sax. thoughā€¦

#7

Fratvenoā€™s is indeed the answer - and useful to know!
Itā€™s in an extra column to the right.

Hi.

@Fratveno (and @steveparker), I donā€™t know how anyone should understand this option. I did in fact see it but did nut use it on purpose: I didnā€™t want it to be ā€œBass clef full scoreā€, I need it to be ā€œBass clef only when viewing in concert pitchā€.
Although this is in fact what this option really does, the label is quite misguiding, to say the least.

@DoricoTeam: Please rename this to say what it does. Thanks :slight_smile:

Hi Estigy,
I didnā€™t know it did this either until Fratveno said.
Very useful though. This always catches me out in Finale, because I donā€™t usually use concert pitch scores. Ledger-line cityā€¦
