Chris Smith:
Well, the problem with octave clefs is that those instruments DON'T read in those clefs,
Well, sure, but a bari sax or bass clarinet doesn't (normally) read in bass clef, either. Those clefs don't go on the *parts*, they go on the score.
Ah. I see.
In vocal music, there is nothing ambiguous about a treble clef with an "8" below it, and pretty much every conductor in the world is going to be familiar with that notation and be able to extrapolate from there.
Most likely true enough, but I prefer to go with standard notation as much as possible, as it IS unusual to have an octave clef on instruments other than tenor voice.
