Thanks

OK - Muse very nearly does that (it has "8ve" below and a little to the
right rather than "8" straight underneath the clef) and Muse does brieves
too.  Brieves are no problem syntactically, they are just long notes, but it
would be nice to have syntax for clefs as discussed last year.

The following will give "tenor g" clef in Muse
K:C clef=treble transpose=-12
or
K:C transpose=-12
or
[K: clef=treble transpose=-12]
and other variants on these pieces

As Muse already does the normal tenor clef (which is a C clef and used for
things like trombone) I'd quite like the ABC syntax discussed last year to
work e.g. [K:G clef=tenor] and I'd really hate it for that to start meaning
something different.  Trombones can also transposing instruments so their
music is both written in tenor clef and played so that A does not mean
anything close to 440 (nor 220, 110, 880 etc).

No, it's like a treble clef but with a little 8 underneath to indicate
that the part is played an octave lower than written.  It's normal in
choral music to print tenor lines that way, if the parts each have
their own staff.
