Jacki, How about exploding the music (using the mass edit tool) into new staves, transposing the top note (staff) down the octave and imploding the staves? Maybe there's an easier way, but that's what occurs to me. Chuck On Jun 20, 2006, at 8:14 AM, Jacki Barineau wrote: Hi,

Every time I've played the Schumann or Schubert symphonies, the parts were 1st-Alto Clef, 2nd-Tenor Clef, and 3rd-Bass Clef. The copies I have at home of these parts are all like that. The score might lump the first 2 parts in 1 clef for space-saving or to suggest some kind of group-treatment,

Exactly! BTW the result is 'similar' to C tenor clef but in Bb Treble the key sig must be adjusted by a tone to read as Ten clef- Then all C, F, and G accidentals altered! Complex to explain- not too hard to do! Cheers K in OZ Keith Helgesen. Director of Music, Canberra City Band. Ph: (02)

Actually they are nornmally tuned to Bb and play so.. Nope don't transpose as in an orchestra. If the note on tegh page says play Bb they play Bb based on their learned slide positions. Mind you with the extra tubing and the rotary keys on the left hand thumb they also play around a bit
