Setting different clefs for concert/transposed pitch
You can set clef changes to show a different clef in concert pitch layouts compared to transposed
pitch layouts. For example, if you want a clef change on a Bass Clarinet staff to appear as a treble
clef in the part layout but as a bass clef in the full score layout.
NOTE
These steps only apply to clefs you have input, as you cannot select initial clefs or the clefs
shown automatically at the start of each system.
Many instruments in Dorico SE show different clefs in full score/custom score and part
layouts by default. You can select the appropriate instrument type from the instrument
picker when adding or changing instruments.
PROCEDURE
1. Select the clefs whose concert/transposed pitch versions you want to change.
2. Choose one of the following options:
To change the concert pitch version of the selected clefs, choose Edit > Clef > Concert
Pitch > [Clef].
To change the transposed pitch version of the selected clefs, choose Edit > Clef >
Transposed Pitch > [Clef].
TIP
You can also choose these options from the context menu.
RESULT
The clefs shown at the selected clef changes in layouts of the corresponding transposition are
changed up to the next existing clef change or the end of the
ow, whichever comes rst.
AFTER COMPLETING THIS TASK
If you want to show the clefs in some layouts but hide them in others, you can hide/show clefs in
layouts according to the layout transposition.

Hiding/Showing clefs according to layout transpositions
You can show individual clefs only in layouts that are either concert or transposed pitch. For
example, due to their transpositions, some instruments require clef changes in concert pitch
scores to avoid excess ledger lines, but do not require those clef changes in their transposed
pitch parts.
By default, all clefs appear in all layouts.
PROCEDURE
1. Select the clefs or signposts of clefs you want to hide/show according to the layout
transposition.
2. In the Properties panel, activate Show for transposition in the Clefs group.
3. Choose one of the following options:
