because the composer for whom I am working is setting it that way in his scores

This is a situation where, IMO, the copyist should confront the composer, asking "Are you _sure_ you want this clef change in the part?" and then explaining what Andrew said, with emphasis on "mixing the two systems is just plain wrong" and "if you want the bcl to sound up a ninth, do not under any circumstances write a bass clef for it."

Many composers look at the b.cl. part for the "Rite" and think, "If Stravinsky does it, it must be okay." But mixing two different transpositions in a b.cl. part is just begging for trouble.
