Hello friends.

What should I do to change clef on the second part of measure?

I enclose you a example from Mozart's sonata

Highlight the area then select your clef. I find the easiest way is to drag the mouse (holding the mouse button) beginning where I want the change to occur to the end of the measure and either right click to get the drop down selection menu from which I can choose clefs, or simply click on the clef icon at the top of the screen.

In Simple Entry, you can change clefs as you go along, wherever the caret is. On Windows, the key commands is ALT C.

You can also change Key and Time sigs at new measures without changing tools.

To amend FergusMac's instructions, you need to begin your click-drag outside the staff, otherwise it will select the entire measure.
