A subtle distinction needs to be drawn here. My objection is not as a bassoonist, but as a composer. As a bassoonist, I have no beef w. the clef at all--but as a composer, I find it an unnecessary complication of the notational system.
Andrew,
Your point has been clearly made, and as a composer, I can agree with your reasoning, but then, as an instrumentalist, do you feel that it then becomes the duty of the copyist to satisify the needs of the performer and engrave the music using the clefs that are more comfortable for a performer to use?
Also, do you feel that the full score should be engraved only in Treble and Bass Clefs, or should it be engraved to reflect the parts as they are written for the performer.
If the latter, does this also mean that a score should be engraved TRANSPOSED, or should it be engraved as NON-transposed.
