Witaj Piotrze!

Thank you for your letter. :)

The devel version of klearnnotes2 (available from kln2 web page, see 
the "CVS" part of Download menu) has:
* the standard G clef (and the 8va lowered G clef - diff only if you
   answer questions with your real instrument and a microphone connected
   to a PC)
* the F (bass), and two C clefs (alto and tenor).

It's quite easy to add more clefs but it really needs sorting out, 
especially when considering music newbies.

Please, help me understand better what would be needed:
* by "old French G clef" you mean a G clef with G on the lowest of the
   five lines, right?
* what is an "old F clef"?
* in "C family" you probably mean the soprano clef (C on the lowest of the
   five lines); do you think the baritone (C on the top line) and
   mezzo-soprano (C on the second line) clefs are useful too?
* what about the sub-bass (F clef with F on the top line)?
* are all the clefs used with "8va"? Would this be useful at all?

Once again, than you for your letter.

Pozdrawiam,
Marek

PS: Just a side remark: With such a "zoo" of clefs, I suppose we cannot 
just add them and confuse the users. Probably there has to be either a 
submenu ("Rare clefs") or a switch ("Show/hide rare clefs").
