Hello all,In Gould (p. 506), it suggests that the clef modifier for the bass clef should dangle from the tip of the bass clef. Lilypond does the following by default:I would like to move this to the tip, but without affecting the modifier for the treble clef (which is in the perfect position right now).I know I could define a macro (e.g. “bassb”) which outputs a clef with the modifier tweaked… but I’d rather put it in a context modification, inside the stylesheet (where my clefs, fonts, etc. are set). Is there a nice global way to apply X-offset/Y-offset/extra-offset(/??) tweaks conditionally based on which clef is being used?
The ClefModifier grob has a property called "clef-alignments" that handles this, providing individual positioning for G, F, and C clefs (you'll likely need to play around with the numbers a bit):
