Yeah, I came across one of those bass clef, Bb transposed parts a couple of months ago. Hit the whole trombone section for a six. I've spent a lot of time delving though pre-Baroque manuscripts, both handwritten and printed. One upside of this is a working familiarity with all manner of clefs.

Hi Wol, Thank you for your feedback. You have a point in your first suggestion. My pianist's visualisation of the pitch gamut overrode my trombone experience, hence the grand staff. If I were to forego it in favour of a single staff, I'd start with a tenor clef and switch to bass when

Hello Carl, Michael (Werner) may have just found a solution. But I promise, if I win the lottery, I will make a donation to Lilypond (and several other open source projects I really appreciate, like Gimp, Inkscape, LibreOffice, Krita, MuseScore, Thunderbird...). Sometimes you just don't have

Hi, that is, of course, correct. With F attachment, you also have to move further than the default position, the lower you play. For C2/c, you have to move to the 7 position with F attachment. Adam Griggs also noted this yesterday in his attached PDF with a handy overview of the default
