I agree the legibility of this example is bad, but rather than introducing
a double space I think I'd prefer to see any material following

\clef bass \key es \major

moved to a new line.  If the material contains notes, as it does in the
quoted example, then that would be definitely be my preference.

But as Phil suggests, this should be the subject of a new issue.
