Re: Cautionary clef collision with rest

[Pierre Perol-Schneider]

Basically, X-extent will define the X space dimension used by the clef.

1 is the height between two lines in a staff.

Here, #'(-5 . 5) stays for 5 spaces on the left side of the clef and 5 spaces on the right side.

Too much, of course; you'll have to find the right figures according to your score.

Cheers,

Pierre

Well, now at least I know of a way to move it around, but I have no
idea what the pair of numbers for x-extent mean (and #'(-5 . 5) puts
the clef in an even stranger place). Looking through the documentation
only tells me that X-extent takes two numbers, but doesn't actually
inform me of what those numbers *do*. *headdesk*

I'll tinker until I figure it out, but thanks for the pointer.
