this and other variants on the treble and bass clef are fairly common in new music. i've seen many piano scores using 4 staves instead of two (bass15vb, bass, treble, treble15va): there are never more than 2 ledger lines necessary, and large intervallic distances are represented with a correspondingly large graphic distance on the page. it works quite well for some scores, but not for all.
initially, with some pianists encountering these clefs for the first time, there is some retention of a particular lower body part, but many find it actually helps the reading. they are not appropriate in, for example, music which is from or emulates music of the pre-sch�nbergian-crisis era, but are quite relevant in some notational contexts of the past 100 or so years. in my experience, the performer explores and interprets the music in a much more fortuitous manner when its notation properly represents it.

most pianists I know of wouldn't have a clue how to interpret the treble8 clef.
From: Andrew Stiller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> IMO this is asking for trouble no matter where the clef is placed.
