A possible reason is that it is a 1st or 3rd horn part that shares a stave in the score with low note from 2nd or 4th.
That is the primary reason I know of. It is important also to realize that old-notation bass clef is really a form of alto clef. Indeed it is only one line off from alto clef. (Middle-c is 2nd space instead of 3rd line.) This is not unlike what happens with tenor-treble clef. Because the horn is written as an alto-register instrument, using a form of alto clef for it makes some sense. The best thing about alto-bass clef is that low notes look low and high notes look high. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
