I know this has come up before, but I forgot what the consensus was.

I've got a piano piece where the left hand starts in the treble clef, but I want to print it with a bass clef initially then a clef change to treble immediately after the time signature before the first note. Finale resists that; as soon as the clef is dragged before the first note it changes the initial clef.

I know I have to kludge this, but what is the preferred method? My thought was to change the time sig of the first bar (display as normal) then add an invisible rest before the actual first note, and squish things around to make it look right. Does anyone have a better way?

thanks

I would add a bar at the beginning, set this new bar 1 to blank notation (to hide the default rest), add a clef change in the SECOND bar, hide the barline of measure 1 in measure attributes and set the measure width to zero. Then I would edit the bar number regions so that it doesn't mess up my measure numbering.
