New issue 877 by v.villenave: Ottava clefs may not look good
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=877

% Clef-ottavas may be printed too far from the clef: in the "F^8"
% example below, one can't say whether it belongs to the top
% or the bottom staff.

\version "2.10" % and "2.12.2" % and "2.13.6"

\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 }
}

The bounding box, however, is correct.

Another related nitpick from Reinhold:
"Another thing about the octavation is the horizontal alignment of the
number: For the "treble_8" and the "bass^8", the 8 is too far to the right
for my taste (it is centered, which does not look good with the clef  
shape!)."
