As you know from my previous patch (http://codereview.appspot.com/2726043), I'm working on clef support for cue notes. Unfortunately, I found out that all scores handle cue notes with clefs a little different, and I don't really know what the modern convention is. Does anyone have some deeper insight? To give you an idea, I looked at several instrumental parts at IMSLP anc copied out some occurrences of cue clefs: http://www.fam.tuwien.ac.at/~reinhold/LilyPond/LilyPond_CueClef/
In particular, -) the cue start clef is sometimes before the barline, sometimes after. (Typically, if a clef/key/time change is involved, the cue clef comes after the barline, otherwise before the barline; But that is not always the case) -) The cue end clef is sometimes before, sometimes after the barline -) If cue notes go across a line break, the clef is sometimes printed after the original instrument's clef, sometimes it replaces it, and sometimes no cue clef is printed -) If cue notes start immediately after a line break, sometimes the clef for the cue notes is printed on the previous line, but most of the times it is not. Of course, as IMSLP can only provide scans of out-of-copyright editions, they are quite old and might not reflect the modern conventions. Does anyone have some parts with cue notes and clefs by some of the distinguished music publishing companies? Unfortunately, Gardner Read does not say anything about clefs for cue notes (just uses them in two examples!), Kurt Stone does not use a clef on cue notes (but uses an ottava bracket instead!), and I don't have any other book on notation...
