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.
