While I don't agree with this reasoning, this is not what I'm talking
about.

Again, you are missing my point. It's not about justification, but
about *documentation*. The description of your patch *must*
*document* what you are doing, especially if you are changing the
shape. Looking at your code changes, this can't be deduced easily.
Regarding the shape: What are the reasons for changing it? Do you
think that an asymmetrical clef looks better, coming nearer to
hand-written originals? Then document it. Or is it an artifact of
your first MF tries? Then fix it :-)
