Hello, William-

Thanks for the suggestion. Looking at that list of functions, I see that LilyPond also has a function
|\breakAlignInsert clef after staff-bar|

which looks ideal. Here's the modified LilyPond file:

\version "2.24.3"
\relative c {
  \time 4/4
  \clef "bass"
  a b c d |
  \clef alto e f g a
}
\layout {
  \context {
    \Score
     \breakAlignInsert clef after staff-bar
  }
}

Unfortunately, this  failed to engrave, generating the error messages

Parsing...
Desktop/Clefs.ly:11:6: error: unknown escaped string: `\breakAlignInsert'

     \breakAlignInsert clef after staff-bar
Desktop/Clefs.ly:11:24: error: syntax error, unexpected SYMBOL, expecting '='
     \breakAlignInsert
                       clef after staff-bar
Desktop/Clefs.ly:13:2: error: Unfinished main input

I'm still near the start of the learning curve, so this mat be due to a lack of understanding on my part.

Dear Peter,

See if this works for you, using \breakAlignInsert. . .
