It's actually not a problem of spacing between the clef and the time 
signature, but rather a problem with make-center-column-markup, which ignores 
the left extents. for example, it also breaks for 2/4 + (2+3)/8. The second 
fraction will overlap with the first +, because the extents left to the center 
of the (2+3)/8 fraction will be totally ignored. In other words, the center of 
the (3+2)/8 fraction will be where its left edge should be...

So, this is a general problem with the general-column scheme function...

Cheers,
Reinhold
