Music's pitch indicator (4)

I believe the answer is:

clef

(Other definitions for clef that I've seen before include "Musical character" , "Symbol on stave in musical score" , "Treble or bass on a stave" , "Symbol written on sheet music to indicate pitch" , "Musical pitch indicator" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
