In the old well-meaning attempts by publishers to print a "correct" clef for the tenor voice I've seen the G-clef-plus-bracket that Mark mentions (the bracket is meant to be borrowed from tenor clef, I believe), and I've seen the double G clef, both on old choral scores I've found in church libraries. In the same dusty libraries I've seen a C clef centered on the 4th space (not on the third or fourth line). This was very confusing, as at first glance I assumed it was a regular tenor clef, and not a single note was correct! Of course, this would be read just like the 8ba treble clef, but I'm glad it didn't catch on.
