Anything but a line count of 5 is not common engraver practice with modern clefs. The various clefs have a dedicated _line_ they are focused on. G for the treble clef, F for the bass clef, C for the viola (tenor?) clef. For square chant notation, you tend to have four lines and an older clef pointing out the C. Personally, I don't know the vertical position of the standard clefs when using four lines, but I would be very much surprised if they lost the fixed relation to their "key" line. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
