RE: Space after clef

[Fairchild]

Thanks Mats.

I spent hours trying to find this, stumbled on it, but didn't know how to
use it.  I expected to find something equivalent to \hspace in \markup.
Often I want to add or subtract a little space among the notes.  Feature
request?

What's the logical process I should have followed to find this information?

Is there a place - a glossary - that explains the terms?

Is there a source for the syntax you provided?

Is it necessary to include the whole list?

Using the alist (What's an alist?) as you suggested, interspersed comment
lines are not accepted.  Bug?

This is controlled by the space-alist property, see
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.5/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond-internals/C
lef.html#Clef
and

You might want to increase the extra space to the next note from the default
0.5 to 1.5 or so: \override Staff.Clef #'space-alist = #'(
        (ambitus extra-space . 2.0)
        (staff-bar extra-space . 0.7)
        (key-cancellation minimum-space . 4.0)
        (key-signature minimum-space . 4.0)
        (time-signature minimum-space . 4.2)
        (first-note minimum-fixed-space . 5.0)
        (next-note extra-space . 1.5)
        (right-edge extra-space . 0.5))
