    I believe clé de Sol is French for treble clef and clé de Fa is French for bass clef. If that is what you are asking...

    Does it mean that Ab = La bémol in French ?
    If "yes", I think I will be able to translate.

    Thanks a lot for your answer.

    Jasmine: Go to https://translate.google.com/ and you can enter your words and get the translation in English (or any other language).

    Right.

    The chart starts at low Bb in bass clef (si bémol, clef de fa) or low C in treble clef (do, clef de sol).

    Thank you, Mr jimpjorps ! I 'll could work on it now.
    Google translate doesn't work with so little words as Ab ( it gives me a "un b" ).
