Re: Template: String Quartet (score-only), first draft

[Kieren MacMillan]

Hi all,

> it just makes for easier input to define the clef with the staff.

For me, the reason to put the clef in the music variable (as opposed  
to the Staff context) is that the clef may change within the passage  
— for example, some of my cello music changes clefs a dozen times or  
more within the same piece. Further to James's "open/closed score"  
comment, there are examples when transposing instruments (e.g., bass  
clarinet) need to be in one clef (e.g., treble) in the part but  
another clef (e.g., bass) in the c-score.

This is where \tag comes to the rescue.

Hope this helps!
Kieren.
