Remarks

This element can be used as an alternative to the staff element's clef.* attributes. It should be used when specific display info, such as size or color, needs to be recorded for the clef or when multiple, simultaneous clefs occur on a single staff. This element may also be used within the staff context to indicate changes of clef.

Constraint

The clef position must be less than or equal to the number of lines of an ancestor staff.
