I couldn't figure it out at first and would have answered as you did, 
Mats.  But now I am thinking Roman may mean that he is not experienced 
enough at tenor clef to be able to quickly enter it into LIly (as well 
as sight read it).  If that is the case moving the notes up a fifth 
(after pretending the tenor clef is bass clef and entering the notes) 
would add a sharp to the key signature which would then have to be 
removed by hand a note at a time.

This is related to what happens when an Eb saxophone player reads a bass 
clef trombone part by changing the clef and the key signature.  Every 
time s/he sees a B natural which looks like a G natural in treble clef 
that note must be read as a G#.

Well at least we've given two possible answers,
