Yes.

I withdraw my request.  My logic was flawed.  Gee, I need a new brain.

Horn parts will stay difficult, since you have to maintain different
clefs for the score and the part.  I'm now using this:

  bassclef = {
    \tag #'score \clef bass
    \tag #'hrn { }
  }

With other words, no bass clefs in the part by default.  In case it is
necessary to have a bass clef, I will use this:

  bassclefhorn = {
    \tag #'score { }
    \tag #'hrn {
      \set Staff.clefGlyph = #"clefs-F"
      \set Staff.clefPosition = #2
      \set Staff.middleCPosition = #-1
    }
  }

Thanks for convincing me that I'm on the wrong track.  I suggest that
an example file is added to lilypond which documents this.
