Re: Double G clef, tenor G clef, varpercussion clef and varC clef (issue 47840043)

[Ian Hulin]

Hi Marc and all,

I've attached a scan of a fragment using some 18C alto and tenor clefs
(Handel, Acis and Galatea, 1718).  I'm not suggesting you use these as
the altC clef as they are rather ugly, but rather to inform some
suggestions for the varC clef.

I think the bulbs at top and bottom right should range with the overall
height of the clef, making it rather more like the default C-clef.

You may want to consider adding the extra line to the right-hand side of
the clef, but I'm agnostic on this one, as I have seen a C-clef very
like your design without the extra line.

As you can see, alternate c-clef is used in both alto and tenor position
in this example.

... and look disgustingly ugly in combination with the pen-stroked
treble clef.
