Re: changes to Clef

[Carl Sorensen]

Oops, I forgot to put my policy hat on.  I will fix things up.


As I looked, the main point I checked was that the drum clef and tab clef
moved out of clefs and to the instrument-specific sections.  I didn't check
the other stuff.

Again, I'm sorry about these mistakes.  I'll fix it right now.

Thanks,

Carl
