Thanks for all who commented. There was a slight preference for a
wider setting. For this reason I now suggest a compromise as a final
resolution, namely to make the bass clef invariant, which in turn
minimizes the differences of the other main clefs (treble and alto);
see attached image. Doing so, the probably most used scores with a
violin and a bass clef (e.g., for piano music) stay unaffected.
If there aren't any serious complaints, I'm going to commit this.
