Dear Cornelius:
Thank you for your answer. It certainly is not an esthetic question,
quite to the contrary. It has practical reasons: our brain
makes assumptions. If thousand pieces started with bass clefs for the
left hand, a player simply overlooks the clef while concentrating on the
signature, only when
playing on sight, of course. My cello player likewise assumes bass clef,
and we start to make cat music if the peace happens to begin with a
tenor clef. Likewise, one needs a change sign also within the peace
if the signature or the clef change at the beginning of a new line,
in this case at the end of the previous system. For this reason, I
have seen usually the described method: One clef for overlooking it,
the other one for noticing.
I came to a similar method as you to realize it, but it
is awkward, isn't it. Sorry for not including the practical example.
Regards,
Christof
