Setting different clefs for concert/transposed pitch
You can set clef changes to show a different clef in concert pitch layouts compared to transposed pitch layouts. For example, if you want a clef change on a Bass Clarinet staff to appear as a treble clef in the part layout but as a bass clef in the full score layout.

These steps only apply to clefs you have input, as you cannot select initial clefs or the clefs shown automatically at the start of each system.
-
Many instruments in Dorico Pro show different clefs in full score/custom score and part layouts by default. You can select the appropriate instrument type from the instrument picker when adding or changing instruments.
-
You can also override the default clef shown in each layout.
