I believe I'm right in.pointing out that "baritone" (our "euphonium")
music in the bass clef over here is written *at actual pitch*, as is the
case for orchestral trombone parts. As far as I know, the instrument we
call the "baritone" is only to be found in brass bands, and so is almost
always written for in the treble clef.
I think you call the latter instrument a "tenor horn".
