Visually I could improve the writing by using alto clef, tenor clef,
or treble clef octave down, but that would create reading problems
or confusion. The same would go for frequent shifts between treble
and bass clefs.
What to do?
In my opinion (of course!), using anything except conventional treble
and bass clefs would throw most organists into fits. Especially
those trained in the U.S. Frequent shifts could work, and I believe
this is done all the time in conventional piano music. But my first
tendency would be to pick a clef in which the majority of notes fall
comfortably, and let the ledger lines fall where they may!!
