Thank you.  With only minor corrections, the above worked.  I used:

      \override Staff.Clef #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
      \override Staff.Clef #'text = \markup \column {
        \raise #3.0 {\musicglyph #"clefs.G"}
        \raise #0.0 {\musicglyph #"clefs.C"}
        \raise #-3.0 {\musicglyph #"clefs.F"}
      }

since I had increased the staff space to 3 and I wanted the 3 different
clefs.
