Dear all,
At
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.25/Documentation/changes/major-changes-in-lilypond
I have read:
The distances between clefs and time signatures, together with the
> distances between clefs and key signatures, are now calculated differently.
> As a consequence, you will get better spacing for extra-wide clefs (like \clef
> "GG") or extra-slim clefs (like \clef "petrucci-c3").
Today I saw some bad (too wide) spacing when an extra-slim clef is used in
a score with no time signature. Please see the attached image.
I think I’ve found a solution (see the code below). Is this a good approach?

\version "2.27.1"

\clef "vaticana-do2"

\markup { Default spacing in version 2.27
with extra-slim Vaticana clef:

\score {
\music
}
\markup { With no time signature,
there is too much space:
}
\score {
\music
\layout {
\omit Score.TimeSignature

}
\markup { My attempted solution
(this looks right):
}
\score {
\music
\layout {
\omit Score.TimeSignature

#'(minimum-space . 2)* % ^ The default listed at
% https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.27/Documentation/internals/clef
% is (minimum-fixed-space . 5.0)
