Is Lilypond’s G-Clef too straight?

[lilypond]

Lilypond has a very characteristic G-Clef. I’ve only seen a handful of 
Bärenreiter scores with a similar clef.

I personally find the Lilypond-Clef beautiful, but quite some people find it a 
bit too characteristic. I think part of this could come from the Clef being 
very straight. In most editions the G-Clef has a slant forward, so that the 
right edge is less leaning backward.

So I’ve simply tried to rotate the clef a bit, and I’ve found that with just a 
slight rotation the clef looks much more like a „standard” G-clef.

So what do you think about this? Could it be that the G-clef of Feta is just 
slightly too straight?

Cheers,
Valentin
