The few times I tried to notate some music, I noticed one of the hardest parts was drawing the G-Clef symbol. Even though there’s a technique to it, it’s difficult to draw it neatly. First, you find the G line, that’s easy. Then, draw a spiral growing of the line counter-clockwise. At the top of the spiral, go up and slightly to the left. Then do a quick right and loop back down through the initial starting point and past it until it sticks out of the bottom a bit. Lastly, do a small clock-wise loop!
Whew! Easy huh? Now here’s the catch, if you start too far to the right you’ll waste space and it will look strange. Too far to the left, and your spiral will leak off the staff, which also looks strange. Lows-pitched instrument players have it easy. The F-Clef is simply half a heart.
