I,
I would like to change Clef on a staff, for example, from G clef to F clef but it's not easy...
example :
- I have a staff with a G clef and notes : 𝄞 C D E F G
- If I change key to F, I get : 𝄞 E F G A B
- Then I use "tool > transpose staff..." with -4 semitons but I get : 𝄢 C Db Eb F G
Is there a better way to change clef in NWC ?
Yes. Don't use "tool > transpose staff..." Changing Clefs is
not a transposition, it is a vertical shift.
Select the notes in the new Clef range and use
Ctrl+Shift+Up or
Ctrl+Shift+Down to shift the notes into the position consistent with the new Clef.
To go from a G to an F staff, do the Ctrl+Shift+Up 12 times like Rick suggested. If one of the staves has an octave shift, subtract or add 7 as well. For example to move an octave down treble staff (like a tenor part) to a true bass staff, move all notes up 5 times.
I think there is a user tool to handle these and all other possible staves (Middle C on the 3rd or 4th line or 3rd space)--I'm not able to look it up now.
Nope. There are two user tools! :D
One javascript and another lua.
You can find them here (https://forum.noteworthycomposer.com/?topic=8906.0)
Thank you very much ! I did not know ctrl + shift + up/down keyboard shortcuts!
Nope. :P
The javascript was the first one, but contained a bug. So you should use the lua version.
Thanks Opagust.
I knew the javascript one was older, but I wasn't aware of the bug. :D
But they are two anyway.
There is also kbsc_Clef_Change.php by K.B.S. Creer. ;)

This is a very usefull tool, as it allows you to change clefs as well as octave up or octave down
