Altos are used to reading lots of leger lines.

In the pieces I'm editing, the alto part, written in the traditional alto clef (C3), of course, is generally fairly low, in other words more often in the bottom half of the staff than in the upper half. Which means, transcribed into treble clef, more often than not on ledger lines. I'm very tempted to use the modern tenor clef (G clef at the octave) instead of the regular treble clef. Is this something that will upset singers or choir conductors? Actually, the alto clef is much closer to the former (2nd) than to the former (7th), at it would be more logical to use the same clef as the tenor. What do you think?
