Hi Jean,

While I was playing with your "macro" enlarge, I ran into a problem.
If the left hand has notes with stems, the stem will be way too long.

%%%
\version "2.22.2"

enlarge = \tweak vertical-skylines #(ly:make-unpure-pure-container
  ly:grob::simple-vertical-skylines-from-extents)
  \tweak Y-extent
  \etc

rightHand = { c'4 4 4 4 \break | c'4 4 4 4 }

leftHand = { \clef bass \enlarge #'(-20 . 0) c4 4 4 4 | c4 4 4 4 }

\score {
   \new PianoStaff <<
     \new Staff \rightHand
     \new Staff \leftHand
   >>
}
%%%

(The main difference is that the left hand part has notes with stems.)

Is there a way to fix this?  If this doesn't give way to a simple
solution, I may post all my code to Google Drive and give a detailed
explanation of the problem I'm facing.  (Would people feel comfortable
clicking a Google Drive link?)
