How do I add a clef sign to an instrument name? Example -- Euphonium BC. I want to substitute a bass clef sign for the BC.

In the Score Manager > Full Name, you can enter Euphonium and then go to the Text menu > Insert Symbol, or, use a program like PopChar to find the symbol. You will then have to change the font and baseline for that character.

Bill Dyson,

If you use the font MaestroTimes for the part name, then you can get both the instrument name and the clef symbol in the same font.
The glyph for Bass Clef is in slot #184.
