Re: Position of cue clefs?

I prefer to have the cue start clef always after the bar line, after a
key signature or meter, right before the first note of the cue.  It
should be a small clef, and it should intentionally look `artificial'.

I prefer to have the cue end clef (which should be a small one) before
the bar line to make it look as natural as possible.

I prefer to have the cue clef repeated, after the key signature or
meter, not replacing the instrument's normal clef.

IMHO, it should not be printed on the previous line; this would be too
`natural'.
