Clef

The Clef feature in the Measures Panel of Reflow allows you to designate the appropriate clef for each staff, ensuring that the notes are accurately represented for various instruments and vocal ranges. Reflow offers a selection of common clefs to suit different musical needs, including G clef (treble), F clef (bass), and all variations of the C clef (alto, tenor, etc.).

Additionally, you have the option to change the octaviation to accommodate instruments that sound an octave higher or lower than written.

Available Clefs

• G Clef (Treble): Suitable for high-pitched instruments and voices such as violin, flute, and soprano voice.
• F Clef (Bass): Used for low-pitched instruments and voices like cello, bassoon, and bass voice.
• C Clefs:
  • Alto Clef: Commonly used for viola.
  • Tenor Clef: Often used for bassoon, cello, and trombone.
  • Other C variations: Adaptable for different musical contexts requiring specific middle-range notations.

Changing the Clef

• Procedure: To change the clef, place your cursor on the desired staff and select the appropriate clef from the Measures Panel. You can make these changes at any measure within your score, providing flexibility to accommodate shifts in instrumentation or vocal range throughout the piece.
• Octaviation: In addition to selecting the clef, you can also modify the octaviation. This feature is particularly useful for instruments that are notated in one octave but sound in another (e.g., piccolo, double bass, and guitar).

Changing the clef at any measure allows for seamless transitions and adaptations within your composition, ensuring that each section of your score is accurately and effectively notated for the performers.
