Indeed. I found the space-alist properties very useful and when changed, the
clef, key signature and time signature are squeezed properly. Since I find
the orientation in the on-line documentation extremely difficult - I am
perhaps too little technically oriented and I would prefer much more verbose
documentation - I copy the lilypond code here for those who would perhaps
search this forum for the help on the same topic (I usually do the same to
find answers for my question) - the answer will be prepared for them right
away:
