horizontal distances, +

[David Raleigh Arnold]

Here is a sed script which filters a file with lilypond notes
in it in several interesting ways.

# replace tabs with spaces. Make sure s/tab/ is a tab.
 s/       / /g
 # remove leading spaces
 s/^  *//g
 # remove trailing spaces
 s/ *$//g
 # remove double spaces
 s/  */ /g
 
# this routine bypasses processing at NoP, resumes at eof or NoNOP

# this comments, adds \mr. Define \mr in .ly
 /KiLL/{

The hangup with petals is making sure that a matrix
transposition *cannot* result in the loss of data. At the
first opportunity I will rewrite that part of it
in python. Sorry it's taking
so long.
 
Two questions:
1.  How do you adjust the horizontal distance
between the clef and the chromatic signs in the key
signature?
2.  How do you adjust the horizontal distance
between the key signature and the time signature?
