Use the Clef tool to apply the clef to the measure. Click Show Clef | Always, and set the clef size to 100% (or other desired percentage). Check 'Place clef after barline' if you don't want it to show up *before* the target measure.


Thanks Aaron and Chuck. I tried this, but - sorry for not having specified this in my first message - I also need the time signature, and the clef is positioned AFTER the time signature (which doesn't seem to make sense). Is there any way to get it before?

Thanks again,

Dennis

Create it as an expression, and then you can place it as you wish but you'll have to mess around with spacing.

At the risk of sounding nosey, why do you want to have the clef shown, along with the time signature?

The reason I'm asking is that if you're really just wanting to begin a new section of music, you can do what you want in page layout by having one system/line be short and move that line's right end way over to the left. Then move the next system/line up and move the left edge over so it will print beginning to the right of where the preceding line ends. I believe there is a switch or two which you need to uncheck, something like "avoid system collisions" or "avoid margin collisions" or some such thing.

I've never done this but I do remember from years past people suggesting this as a great way to begin a coda.

Perhaps others will chime in with the proper switches to turn off.

However, if this isn't going to give you the effect you want, then I'm at a loss other than having you place your clef as an expression, and quite possible having to place your time signature as a graphic also.
