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.
This is indeed a new section of music in the same piece. I also need a
blank space before it, so I did try putting it on a new system. You have
to turn of "Avoid margin collision", as you suspected. This is fine, but
then I can't use JW's Space Systems plug-in, and I didn't want to do
without it. But then, perhaps there is some way, by changing the system
margins?
Thanks for your reply. I do think this is probably the only reasonable
way to do this.
Perhaps using the Space Systems plug-in BEFORE adjusting those spots
where you want the space/new-clef systems to be on the same line, then
you'll get the benefit for the majority of your systems and will only
have to do a relatively small bit of messing around by hand.
Just a thought.
Good luck!
