When everything else fails, read the documentation. <http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/displaying-pitches#clef> By adding _8 or ^8 to the clef name, the clef is transposed one octave down or up respectively, and _15 and ^15 transpose by two octaves. Other integers can be used if required. Clef names containing non-alphabetic characters must be enclosed in quotes \clef treble c2 c \clef "treble_8" c2 c \clef "bass^15" c2 c \clef "alto_2" c2 c \clef "G_8" c2 c \clef "F^5" c2 c -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
