I guess the use of single digits to reference clefs
precluded adding additional "normal" clefs.

I think Don's complaint is that MusiXTeX does *not* provide
for this "arcane" need: \settrebleclefsymbol{n} will
substitute for *every* treble clef symbol in instrument n.
The substitute-clef symbols are indexed by instruments, not
by staffs.
It seems 8 is "not used" as a clef symbol. Would that be
a way of making an additional "normal" clef?
