I am adding an additional request to know how to do this. I recently engraved an ensemble piece with a contrabasso part than began in the tenor clef. I could NOT get the bass clef to start the staff with the tenor clef placed after the meter and key signatures. I ended up using the tenor clef to start the staff. However, this is a VERY unusual practice. The result is unsatisfactory.
