Not really todays customs, but in the 18th century violinists were expected to read at least the French G clef, and they almost certainly had to read soprano clefs as well. Even Bach's autograph of the Ciaccona switches to French G clef for some high passages. I learned transposition at the keyboard by just reading clefs, and that works surprisingly well. Not that I was ever a great keyboard player.
