First test you might want to try is when logging into Ubuntu, after booting up the operating system, open up a file manager/browser (something like Nemo, PCManFM, GNU Files) and go to that NTFS drive/partition. You will most likely find that you are locked out of that directory and need to use your administrative password to gain access. Once you have this partition directory opened Clementine should recognize your music library if you have the preference setting pointing to that location. With Linux operating systems you need to open the partitions, this is a Linux security feature to help prevent unauthorized users from tapping into your system. If you are used to using Windows operating systems there is no such default security feature unless you use some third party software or with Windows Professional have a custom set up of directories and folders that are encrypted.
If unlocking partitions in Linux does not solve this problem you might consider adding a new partition exclusively for a music library that is accessible by both operating systems, formatted to fat32. Different options may be available to obtain this goal. You might have extra memory space in one of your partitions that you can shrink. I have never had any problems with Linux reading any NTFS partitions yet have read in a book that such a problem does exist in older LInux operating systems. A music library partition formatted to fat32 should be easily accessible by both Linux and Windows, again remember to unlock that partition in LInux before running any media players that need to access files on that partition.
