+1. I use a lot of choral scores, and I don't believe I've ever seen the
correct clef for tenors, which is a treble clef and octave down. I insist on
using it, because it's right. Reckon the old typesetters didn't have the
correct symbol and so simply didn't bother.

I bit the bullet and went through all 100-odd guitar music publications I've
collected over the years, from publishers around the world on every
continent,
across multiple genres (although admittedly mostly classical and South
American). The set includes many volumes whose purpose is purely
didactic. And yet I was only able to find three books that use this
notation.
So I suspect that "standard" isn't exactly the right word to use here. :-)
It's probably better to say that it's the "correct" way of guitar notation
-- one
that is satisfying from a theoretician's standpoint, but rarely used in
practice.
I have two guitar publications using this notation (treble clef with explicit
8 at the bottom).
Frankly, the absence of this mark in many of the scores annoys me very much.
Nobody gets hurt by this tiny 8, and its presence clarifies things. In my
opinion we should support it, there's no point in sticking to a wrong habit :)
cheers,
Janek
