Changing percussion clefs to normal clefs
Hello, I’m working on a piece of classical music, and it has a triangle part with a treble clef, but MuseScore shows a percussion clef. Is it possible that I could change it to treble clef?
Thanks, pianoguy2007

It's not worth the effort and will look probably ugly to change it on the staff.
If you want it to look and play right, put an instrument, like a flute, under the triangle staff and put the notes on the flute. Use the mixer (F10) and mute this added flute. Right Click the Flute and select Staff Properties. You can then change the long and short instrument names to say Triangle. Go into the instruments by pressing i and remove the check from visible for the triangle. It will now look and sound right.
A triangle is not a pitched instrument and should not be notated with treble clef. Better not to go out of your way to propagate the error made by the original editor of that score. Better to simply correct it (or, more to to the point, allow MuseScore to get it right for you).

Historical editor did not use percussion clefs. This is even still true sometimes. If someone wants to do this in MuseScore to make it look like it did in the original score, these are the hoops necessary to jump through.

Thanks, I’ll just use a percussion clef since it seems to hard to make the change.
