Now that I've given it some more thought...

there's two parts to this problem:
1)  Printing a treble clef with a 15 (or 15va) on top of it.
2)  Printing all notes after that point two octaves lower than you
specify in your input file.

#2 is easy; use \property Staff.centralCPosition = #-20  from my
previous example.
#1 can be faked in a really ugly way: print a "15va" as a textscript
over the first note of each line, then use #'extra-offset to move that
15va from the note to the clef.
The best way would involve some scheme or a new symbol in a font, but
that's far beyond my knowledge.

(in fact, if you only want a small number of physical copies of this,
you could solve #1 by writing "15va" by hand!  :)
