Hello, I'm trying to use Mensural notation with only four lines staves:
\override Staff.StaffSymbol #'line-count = #4 This works, but the regular [i.e. Mensural] clef is then shown on a space, not on its proper line. When using a Vaticana clef instead: \clef "vaticana-fa1" then it is correct (on the line). I also tried using a Mensural (or a modern) clef in a VaticanaVoice, then also the clefs are shown on a space instead of a line. Indeed, the Vaticana or 4-lines staff tool seems to take a regular 5-line staff, and replace its lines by spaces and its spaces by lines. And the Vaticana clefs are designed to be on a normal staff's spaces... Musically, this is a nonsense: the 4-line staff should be a 5-line staff without the 5th line! , And it forbids to mix the notations. Is there any solution for that? One other thing: the "vaticana-fa1" clef is a F (fa) clef on the 2nd line, while the "vaticana-fa2" clef is a F (fa) clef on the 3rd< line. This is not logical! IMHO they should be renamed "vaticana-f2" and "vaticana-f3". The "italiano" name "fa" for F is not a correct note name in that musical context − F's complete name being "F fa ut" in the solmistic sytem. Of course, same problem occurs for the vaticana "do" (C) clefs. (In fact, I just switched from Mensural to the experimental BlackMensural, but problems are the same.) Thanks for any advice!
