However, I have found especially in sight-reading that cellists will miss an
initial tenor clef. I would rather not invite disaster. Placing the
altered clef after the meter and key signatures draws the player's attention
to the change.

I wholeheartedly agree here. Once I wrote a piece in which the piano part's right hand was in the treble-8vb clef (what some would say is the "modern vocal tenor clef"), and every time I had it played I had to verbally call attention to it or it would be in the incorrect octave. If I had put in a clef change at the very beginning it would have been much simpler-- even my composition prof at the time didn't catch it!


BTW, if you're wondering why I used that clef on piano... it was to save from jumping back and forth from treble to bass, which would have been necessary every 8 bars or so otherwise.
