Re: beginning-of-measure padding value?

[Mats Bengtsson]

Since you want to change the spacing after the time signature, you should
modify the space-alist property for the TimeSignature:

 \override TimeSignature #'space-alist = #'(
   (first-note . (fixed-space . 12.0)) ; Default = 2.0
   (right-edge . (extra-space . 0.5))
   (staff-bar . (minimum-space . 2.0)))
