Logic Pro Clefs

[Jay Denson]

I have some instruments in my libraries (notably cello and bassoon) which sound an octave lower than played (and therefore written). I'd like to make them appear as they sound in the score - i.e. an octave lower. Whereas the treble clef has options to make the lines an octave higher or lower, the bass clef doesn't appear to have a variant to make the part appear an octave lower i.e. as it sounds. Of course contrabass makes the part appear an octave higher, but what I would like is the opposite.

Any ideas from the good folks out there?

TIA Jay

Given that you know how the correct pitch should sound, and how it should look in the Score Editor, create a custom staff style. Duplicate a staff style, then modify the Transpose value.

Edit: You might also need to transpose to the correct octave within the software instrument was well.
