Thanks Mats.
I spent hours trying to find this, stumbled on it, but didn't know how to use it. I expected to find something equivalent to \hspace in \markup. Often I want to add or subtract a little space among the notes. Feature request?
What's the logical process I should have followed to find this information?
Is there a place - a glossary - that explains the terms?
You mean 'ambitus', 'staff-bar' and so on? They are defined by the property 'break-align-symbol' for the respective layout objects. For example, the 'break-align-symbol' property for the object Ambitus is 'ambitus'. See also the second link I provided in the previous answer.
Is there a source for the syntax you provided?
The value is a Scheme list. However, if you just look at a few examples, it's easy to grasp the pattern.
Is it necessary to include the whole list?
I just copied the default value of the list and changed the spacing to next-note. The list covers a number of cases that often appear in normal score, i.e. that a clef is follow by a key signature or a time signature or a bar line or ... Of course, if you know that one of these cases never will happen in your score, then there's no need to include it.
Using the alist (What's an alist?) as you suggested, interspersed comment lines are not accepted. Bug?
'alist' is short for association list, which is a common concept in LISP related languages like Scheme. For comments, just use the comment syntax of Scheme, i.e.
\override Staff.Clef #'space-alist = #'(
; Copy of the default values:
(ambitus extra-space . 2.0)
(staff-bar extra-space . 0.7)
(key-cancellation minimum-space . 4.0)
(key-signature minimum-space . 4.0)
(time-signature minimum-space . 4.2)
(first-note minimum-fixed-space . 5.0)
; Changed the default value 0.5 to 1.5:
(next-note extra-space . 1.5)
(right-edge extra-space . 0.5))See the Scheme tutorial in the manual with its link to other Scheme documention for more information.

Subject: Re: Space after clef
This is controlled by the space-alist property, see http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.5/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond-internals/C lef.html#Clef and http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.5/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond-internals/b reak_002daligned_002dinterface.html#break_002daligned_002dinterface
You might want to increase the extra space to the next note from the default 0.5 to 1.5 or so: \override Staff.Clef #'space-alist = #'( (ambitus extra-space . 2.0) (staff-bar extra-space . 0.7) (key-cancellation minimum-space . 4.0) (key-signature minimum-space . 4.0) (time-signature minimum-space . 4.2) (first-note minimum-fixed-space . 5.0) (next-note extra-space . 1.5) (right-edge extra-space . 0.5))

In v 2.4.3, transcribing solo scores with multiple clef changes within
bars, notes following the clef glyphs are too close to the glyphs. Using \override Score.SeparationItem #'padding = #2.0 causes added space both prior to and following the glyphs.
Is there a way to insert extra space selectively following clef changes.
