Some of the clefs use the same glyph, but differ only with respect to the line they are printed on. In such cases, a trailing number in the name is used to enumerate these clefs. Still, you can manually force a clef glyph to be typeset on an arbitrary line, as described in <a href="Clef.html#Clef">Clef</a>. The note printed to the right side of each clef in the example column denotes the <code>c'</code> with respect to that clef. <p><table summary=""><tr align="left"><td valign="top"
