Tenor is NOT a transposing clef for the Bb Trombone! A concert middle C 
is a bass clef middle C (one ledger line up) is a tenor clef middle C 
(fourth staff line up).

The only thing I can think of is you're muddling it with "treble clef in 
Bb", where the trombone IS a transposing instrument, but a simple 
\transpose c' bf (or the reverse) and the use of the "treble_8" clef 
will deal with that.
