Re: Strange clef

[Jule Slootbeek]

Yeah it's probably just a F clef in a different position, and drawn by either the 
composer or a transcriber, sometimes when music is not printed but copied the clefs 
can look kinda weird, I agree with Laura that it's probably a C clef, but it depends 
where it's located on the staff, it being a bassa continue, could just keep it F 
though. check the harmony, to see if it acts like a 'contemporary' bass line.

ps. looking forwards to seeing the results of those pieces...
