Re: How to change clef style

[Morten Lemvigh]

From that section it's clear, how I can insert different kinds of 
ancient clefs, but I already have a large collection of pieces, where 
I've used \clef "G", \clef "G_8" and \clef "F". I would like to change 
the look of them without having to edit all the documents. Since they 
all include the same file, I hoped for a way to globally change the look 
of the clefs.

Maybe it's clear from that section as well, but then I just don't get 
it... Sorry!
