It could end up as a neat way of making yourself unpopular with
Sopranos and Basses alike. Hey, why not go the whole hog and use
a C clef!I honestly did not expect this kind of response, and I'm getting it from multiple people. I asked a technical question and got a whole bunch of "answers" saying I'm stupid to try to achieve that effect. Except for Kieren hinting that it will probably be difficult, there has been *zero* actual discussion about the technical aspects of it.If LilyPond or its community isn't friendly to people who want to experiment with notation, I guess I'm finding that out pretty quickly.-Ken
