Thanks for your reply, James. My question wasn't very clear - there are 
numerous instances of ottava passages in the score, but not the whole score so 
\clef "treble_8" is not suitable. It's not the ottava instruction as such I 
want to use in the \layout { } but the format, i.e. just an "8" instead of 
"8va".
Regards,
Peter

Can't you just use

\clef "treble_8" in your score

Instead of using a \layout { } construct?
