The old clefs reminiscent of chant notation can sit IIRC on either lines or in between. The more modern clefs are rather fixed. In practice, anything but the C clef is not seen shifted vertically, and even the C clef is only seen on anywhere but the middle line mainly in Baroque music and earlier. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
