soprano clef



[Eng.]

A staff of five lines connected at the left end by a symbol; this symbol contains an arrow which points to the third line, indicating that that line is middle C (c1). This clef is sometimes used for the notation of the soprano part because it facilitates the printing of the part with minimal use of ledger lines. This clef is rarely used.
