As far as I remember the "middle line" bass clef is a pretty much archaic
Baritone clef.
Dredging back into my early learning years I seem to recall that the F clef
was sometimes used on the top line, for "Russian Bass" giving the sound of
two (three?) octaves below treble.
Basically all clefs can be (or USED to be) mobile clefs, in the same way as
C clef still is. G clef on middle line was (is) mezzo soprano clef.
I certainly use the G clef (8ve basso) which looks like Treble clef with
little 8 attached to the bottom, for tenor Sax, Bass Clari, Brass Band Euph,
Troms, Baritone etc. It gives instant 8ve basso transposition.
As always I stand to have these comments clarified/corrected/challenged etc!
On a similar vein, why does "explode parts" NOT stay in the
clef/transposition of the original? Very strange results are seen by
"exploding" a divisi tuba part. Leger lines way down off the page! Easily
fixed- but why is the 'extra' step required?

I think I know what I did -- When I used the clef tool, I selected what
looks like a bass clef on the far right of the top row. That clef is easy to
confuse with the regular bass clef. It put 3 flats at C, F, and G, I
thought, but maybe those aren't C, F and G.
However, I can't figure out what that clef would be used for. Maybe French
Horn?
Anyway, if I don't muck around with the clef tool, it does set up the
transposed notation as it should. I sure am curious what that other bass
clef is, though.
Maybe someone might know.
Yours; Tammy
