Re: Placement of clefs at repeat bars

[Peter Toye]

Thomas,

That's a brilliant subversion of the \afterGrace command - I hadn't realised you could use it for anything but notes!

I think I need a good course on lateral thinking.

I'd come up with this, which puts the treble clef at the beginning of the repeated section - as I said earlier I don't
know what's best. We really need a music typography expert on this discussion to come up with the "best" solution.

Incidentally, I tried to parenthesize the treble clef in bar 4, but it didn't work. Any idea why?

\version "2.19.52"

\language "english"


\new Staff {
  \override Score.BarNumber.break-visibility = ##(#t #t #t)
  \time 4/4
  \clef "treble"  c''1
  \clef "bass" c
  \clef "treble" c''
  \set Staff.forceClef = ##t
  \once \override Score.BreakAlignment #'break-align-orders = #(make-vector 3 '(staff-bar clef ))
  \repeat volta 2 {\clef "treble" c'' }
  \alternative {
    { c'' \clef "bass" c }
    { \set Staff.forceClef = ##t

      \once \override Score.BreakAlignment #'break-align-orders = #(make-vector 3 '(staff-bar clef ))
      \clef "bass" c }
  }
}

Best regards,

Peter
