Obviously if there is no key sig then it can't get messed up. Sorry, but I thought it was obvious I didn't refer to those keys. Having a graphic clef *and* a graphic key sig is two kludges and a PITA in my opinion. I think Mark's idea of a hidden rest and two real clefs is preferable to this if it's really essential to start off with a bass clef. However, I presume the reason Finale wasn't designed to do this is because it's not "normal" or "accepted" practice nowadays.
