Do not use these clefs to replace genuine octave transpositions. The clefs tend to go unnoticed, as the player is unaccustomed to reading them." | |

| Dec 11, 2023 at 22:10 | comment | added | Andy Bonner | I'd argue that 8va isn't particularly hard for violinists; we do get annoyed at having to count more than 4 or 5 ledger lines, but would also get annoyed at a switch to 8va just for a few notes. But the examples here would be perplexing rather than annoying. We're also pretty adept at transposing by an octave, even for things notated low on the staff, thanks to church gigs that say "take it up an octave on the last verse." I think the big takeaway here is: octave clefs are a species of transposing clef, and as such are meant for transposing instruments. | |
