A bracketed figure whose centre points at the line meaning middle C, movable up and down the staff.
Also known as: C clef, Viola clef, Tenor clef
The C clef is the only clef that moves. Wherever its centre points is middle C, which is why the same symbol is called the alto clef on one line and the tenor clef on another.
Marks the staff line its centre points at as middle C.
