However, the gap between the upper and lower half of the clef is _exactly_ centred on the c staff line. Compare this with the lilypond mensural C clef - it's centred on the B below. This seems wrong to me. All the other C clefs are centred on the C. Do we know why?No idea, but this does not exactly seem new: <URL:http://dvoi.com/files/lilypond/2.8.1/Documentation/user/lilypond/Ancient-clefs.html> Huh. -- David Kastrup
It's looking to me increasingly that it's been considerably wrong for a considerable time:
\new MensuralVoice {
\relative c' {
\clef "mensural-c1"
c\breve
\clef "neomensural-c1"
c\breve
\clef "petrucci-c1"
c\breve
}
}
Surely these should all put the note on the same staff line??
