I believe the answer is:

tenor clef

(Other definitions for tenor clef that I've seen before include "A stave marking for pitch" , "It has middle C on second- highest line" , "Character instructing musician" , "One on the staff" , "instruction for a musician" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
