Lately I've been working on lead sheets for Joan Armatrading, and since her 
range is so low, (2nd space C in bass clef) I find it convenient to use Treble 
8 in order to avoid ledger lines.  That means that the lyrics are much closer 
to the bottom line of the staff.  It looks much better on the page.
