This is a double question, seeing as wind instruments rarely transpose 
by an octave. For example, I play the trombone, which is either written 
in bass clef concert, or in treble transposed by a ninth. I just don't 
worry about the 8s on the clef, I transpose a second and use the 
treble_8 clef "as is". Nobody's commented on that extra little 8 so far 
... :-)
