Research direction
Reproduce the issue from the Clefs palette by opening More and inspecting “G clef ottava bassa with C clef.” Trace the composite clef rendering or definition starting from that palette entry; done means the tenor C clef is positioned on the fourth line, matching the supplied reference image, and the affected clef remains correct in the UI.
