clef d'ut

ˈklef. : a sign placed at the beginning of a musical staff to determine the pitch of the notes.

The proposed standard placemnt of the D-clef is at the same line as the treble clef, thus putting D5 at the line where G4 used to be. This idea is borrowed from cello music, where it is accustomed to use a tenor clef for the higher parts putting C4 at the same line as F3 with the bass clef.

The treble clef is the most used clef in Western music notation. It primarily notates musical notes above middle C. The treble clef is shaped like an ornamental letter G, and its inner curve surrounds the note G4 that falls above middle C. For this reason, the treble clef is nicknamed the G clef.

Clefs assign individual notes to certain lines or spaces. Two clefs are normally used: the Treble and Bass clefs.

The treble clef, or G clef, is used for the higher sounding notes, usually played with the right hand. The bass clef, or F clef, is used for the lower sounding notes, usually played with the left hand.

Clef is a French word, meaning Key. Clef is defined as a symbol placed at the commencement [beginning] of a stave [staff] which indicates the pitch of a musical note and also fixes the letter names of the lines and spaces.

A clef (from French: clef 'key') is a musical symbol used to indicate which notes are represented by the lines and spaces on a musical staff. Placing a clef on a staff assigns a particular pitch to one of the five lines or four spaces, which defines the pitches on the remaining lines and spaces.

First. In the first space at the bottom is f the next space up is a the next space up is c. And the final. Space is e notes in the spaces helpfully spell out the word. Face the notes on the lines.

Treble clef Treble clef is the clef most often used in vocal music.

The Notation of Notes, Clefs, and Ledger Lines chapter introduced four clefs: treble, bass, alto, and tenor. A clef indicates which pitches are assigned to the lines and spaces on a staff.

It means that the composer/arranger decided the music would be easier for the performer to read if it was written with two treble clefs. The decision is purely pragmatic. When most of the notes are above Middle C, it usually makes more sense to use treble clef.
