Yes, in a sense. I play double strung harp (along with other instruments). My left hand has a reading problem (nothing to do with my brain <g>). Pieces written for the 2X will often use the treble clef for both lines, but as the instrument has 3 1/2 octaves I'm often reading the bass clef for the left hand, sometimes tranlating it up an octrave and sometimes in the written range. It involves a mental adjustment (and there are some small harp pieces that are all in one stave of the treble using up and down "whatchumacallums" (note flags) to indicate the hand.
