Today's trouble:
Reading alto clef.
Heck, I'm not used to that one.

@ziphi we don't come across it often but it's the only one we're good at reading, because we played viola in high school

@ziphi i wonder what other arcane clefs are out there

we know about the tenor one, and of course the bass and treble and alto

are there others?

@Felthry Musescore at least has a bunch of fun ones. Though most of them are archaic and regional and not really used for anything anymore.

This could actually be a fascinating subject to look into.

@ziphi What are the doubled treble clef, the rectangular one, and the two that just say TAB?

not to mention all those weird/archaic ones at the bottom

@ziphi (I recognise a couple of the ones on the bottom as old versions of the C clef (the symbol for both alto and tenor clefs)
