That is correct for singers - although the normal treble clef is often used for tenor parts in older scores, it is technically incorrect. Alto parts, especially in early music, rely on the correct 8 being included as very often the part is readable at both octaves... The lack of understanding of this is (or certainly used to be!) an astounding piece of stupidity in the Sibelius manual :) David > > --Don Simons > > > > > > ------------------------------- > [email protected] mailing list > If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to > http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music ------------------------------- [email protected] mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
