I see you included examples.  Well, you can just remove one staff line at the 
bottom and put it at the top, and then you are in treble clef.
If that's too hard, it would appear like it's written in C Minor (or parallel), 
so the half-steps in staff are G-A♭ and D-E♭ which look like B-C and F♯-G, so 
pretend that this is really written in E Minor in treble clef and afterwards 
use Frescobaldi's transpose function to get it from E down to C.

It's a similar operation as transcribing something from treble clef to bass 
clef.
