No, I was also referring to the G clef at the octave, to avoid ledger lines. I was told altos are actually quite fond of ledger lines ;-).
Well, under normal circumstances I would of course write the altos in the treble clef, ledger lines and all, in this case they are doubling the tenors exactly for the entire movement, so I'm inclined to make an exception. The altos may be fine with all those ledger lines below the staff, but the tenors? And again, it seems kind of silly to put this part on two separate staves, and I don't think the 8vb treble clef is likely to cause *that* much confusion for the altos, especially since this is how the music is notated in the old parts.
Am I wrong here?
