I have a score with this clef data:

       <staves>2</staves>
        <clef number="1">
          <sign>G</sign>
          <line>2</line>
          </clef>
        <clef number="2">
          <sign>F</sign>
          <line>4</line>
          </clef>

How do I know from this data that the "F" clef is an octave lower that the "G" clef?

I can hardwire this knowing the G/2 is the treble clef and F/4 is the bass clef. But I presume there are other possible values for than these two.

Hi @AlbertHart — see here for the list of supported clefs in MusicXML. Also see here for the more general documentation on the clef element.

Generally, yes, your code will need to know what "G2" and "F4" mean, in terms of their visual look/position, effect on audio playback, etc.
