-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1My understanding was that the f dots are the vestiges of the two lines in the letter "F"... is that not the case?

I'm not sure, but you are probably right, I have seen G and F clefs with dots, but not C clefs and I recall only one instance of G clefs. Yet I use the dots because they make good logical sense and facilitate precise handwriting. I'll have a look in the MGG and inquire where is the next available old "new" Bach Ausgabe. I would think that the use of the dots for the "french" clef may have had the purpose of giving clarity to the graphics.
