| I have been using abc, mostly with abc2win, for a couple of years now

Well, abc2ps has done alto clefs for some time.  You'd add  clef=alto
to  either the K or V line.  Since you're doing multiple-voice music,
presumably you'd use a V line to define a viola voice,  and  put  the
clef=alto  there.   Or  you  could  write each instrument's part as a
separate "tune" and just put the clef=alto in the K line.

| Any help you can offer would be appreciated; our viola player is a great
| kid who plays well with fiddlers and whistlers.

Hmmm ...  "Plays well with fiddlers and whistlers" would make a great
T-shirt, wouldn't it?
