in a new orch work (new music played by an orch experienced with new
music), there is no need today to mention that regardless of clef the
transposition is down a 5th, correct? i.e. the up/down in
treble/bass clef is to be considered old school and the horn
players will assume the modern
I agree with those saying to put a written instruction in the score.
The player will likely infer wrongly if your part is low enough to go
below the staff. An example is the Rochberg Trio for cl, hn, pno. The
horn part rarely switches to bass clef, but when it does it is for
extremely low notes

Speaking of copyists slavishly following score clef changes; I'm playing a
few Szymanowski pieces (from the 20's and 30's) this weekend with the
orchestra. In one passage, the second part is notated in bass clef old
notation as D on the middle line. This is the same as treble clef D above
middle
Yes, a brief note to TRANSPOSE DOWN (as Vaughan Williams used) wold help
avoid confusion.

I would say that you are correct, but as a horn player, I always
appreciate a written note clarifying the use of bass clef. It's easy
to include and it removes any doubt.
