The only oddity now is that the altos and tenors both have to share an 8vb treble clef
placing tenors on an 8vb G clef did not used to be the norm; in the past, tenors were noted on a treble clef, in alto range, and transposed down the octave at sight. The use of the transposed G clef seems to be a consequence of notation software.
Dennis responded to Darcy's comment, writing:
I raised this very question not long ago and was strongly advised against using the tenor clef for an alto part.
If I remember the thread correctly, Darcy is not referring to the same tenor clef that Dennis is. I understood the earlier thread to refer to using the C clef in the alto position, whereas Darcy refers to using the G clef with the 8 vb designation.
As a tenor, I would advocate using the "nontransposed" G clef, for the altos and tenors.
