I would think any transposition of any sort in alto clef would be
particularly confusing. Just put the cue in treble clef in Bb.
If it is extremely low write it 8va (labeled or not, depending on how
exact you wantthe cue to be).
I assume that the cue is not intended to be played. If it IS intended
to be played if needed, then, obviously, it should be notated so the sax player
can read it (Bb treble clef).
In older orchestral parts, cues not intended to be played are often
left in the cued instruments key, but, IMO, this is an excellent
opening for Murphy's Law.

>Hi gang,
>I am currently working on transposing a part originally written for oboe to soprano sax. On the original, the viola cues are written in alto clef, but I'm not sure I should keep this in the transposed version. I definitely want to put the cues in the player's key -- so having a cue in alto clef (transposed to Bb) might be somewhat confusing. While the goal here is to be as faithful as possible to the original, I think I might be better off putting the viola cues in treble clef (i.e., the sax player's clef). Opinions, anyone? >- Darcy ----- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Boston MA _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale |
