Re: Ottava too far from clef in \clef "F^8"

[Mats Bengtsson]

This is weird! For alto clefs, \clef "C^8", the '8' is placed just on 
top of the stave, but for bass clefs it's separated for some strange 
reason. For octava indications below the clef, the placement is OK for 
all the clef symbols. I used \override Score.Clef #'stencil = 
#(make-stencil-boxer 0 0 ly:clef::print) to check the bounding box of 
the clef symbols, but it seems correct so I have no idea why this happens.

The problem existed already in version 2.10, so it's not related to the 
new spacing implementation in 2.12 or 2.13.

Extended test case:

\score {
   <<
\override Score.Clef #'stencil = #(make-stencil-boxer 0 0 ly:clef::print)
       \new Staff { \clef "G^8" g''1 }
       \new Staff { \clef "F^8" c'1 }
       \new Staff { \clef "C^8" c''1 }
       \new Staff { \clef "G_8" g1 }
       \new Staff { \clef "F_8" c,1 }
       \new Staff { \clef "C_8" c1 }
   >>
  \layout{ragged-right = ##t }
}
