Not entirely true. Music theoreticians will also understand them --
the `treble' clef is a G clef on the second staff line; the `bass'
clef is an F clef on the fourth staff line -- that's how it was always
explained to me when I was learning music. And check the Wikipedia
article on Clef.
. . .which explains why there are *two* common usages of the C clef,
alto and tenor. The way a previous post equated C clef as a synonym for
tenor clef would lead to a legion of pissed-off viola players.
Cheers,
Ian
