LilyPond supports a variety of clefs, many of them ancient.
The following table shows all ancient clefs that are supported via the
\clef
command. 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 Clef. The note printed to the
right side of each clef in the example column denotes the c'
with respect to that clef.

Modern or Neo-mensural style means “as is typeset in modern editions of transcribed mensural music.”
Petrucci style means “inspired by music published by the famous engraver Petrucci (1466-1539).”
Historic style means “as was typeset or written in historic editions other than those of Petrucci.”
Editio XXX style means “as is/was printed in Editio XXX.”
Petrucci used C clefs with differently balanced left-side vertical beams, depending on which staff line it is printed.
