I would personally recommend that you include the _8va explicitly,
but you may omit it if you wish. See the info lower on the Clef page
for hints about this.
For anybody else, especially those who think I hate LSR and tweaks
in the NR (you know who you are): this would be a perfect example
of a great snippet that I'd like to include in the NR. One (or
possibly two) lines of text, short example that shows how to get a
treble clef that displays notes an octave higher than they
actually are, but without the _8 below it.
(this crops up in cello music as well, especially from Dvorak and
Schumann. I detest it, since non-Romantic composers write with
proper treble clefs and performs must therefore guess whether
they're looking at a real treble clef or a "play an octave lower
than it looks, but we're not going to give you a hint about this"
treble clef, but it /is/ used, so somebody trying for a
reproduction as faithful as possible might want it)
You can figure this out from the existing snippet in Clefs, but
that's way too complicated for a common (well, "more common than
the current snippet") solution.
