Thanks for all the comments, much appreciated.

I only have a hard copy of the music, hence I will have to either learn tenor clef or learn Rosegaren/Lilypond/Denemo to transcribe it.

Certainly it appears that Lilypond (or Denemo) is more suitable for this purpose than Rosegarden, and I made significant progress late last night using Lilypond.
Unfortunately I cannot make it to the workshop this weekend, but will try to make the next one.� (I am trying to persuade one of my musical friends to use Linux and will invite them along too to hear the chorus).

Thanks again!

If you prefer the "GUI" approach: just change the clef in Denemo using
"Clef -> Initial Clef" �from the "menu of objects" toolbar.
Quite a nice application, this denemo. Have to keep that in mind. :-)
