Notating same part in two different mixtures of clefs

Suppose I have a solo part which can be played either on cello or on viola da gamba.  Cello solo parts are normally written in a mixture of bass and tenor clefs; gamba parts in a mixture of bass and alto clefs.  In either case it's quite possible to encounter a change of clef every few bars.

What's the most elegant way in which I can enter the notes just once, but generate two output scores - one with bass and tenor clefs, the other with bass and alto clefs?

I can see that I could assign strings containing notation for one pair of clefs to Scheme variables, generate corresponding strings for the other pair of clefs by Scheme string operations, and then invoke the LilyPond parser explicitly on the two sets of strings.  It doesn't feel to me like a natural solution.  Is there an obviously better one?

Thanks in advance.
