I've started setting a bit of mensural music, from Dufay.  All of the 
music
uses a C clef, similar to the mensural-c.  However, the gap between the
upper and lower half of the clef is _exactly_ centred on the c staff 
line.

The gap should be centered on C, and is for me.

Did you by chance select a four-line staff with
\set StaffSymbol #'line-count
?  That creates line-positions of -3 -1 1 3, whereas the lines are usually
at even numbers, so you might have the note middle C in a space.

If so, you could choose the four lines by listing 'line-positions, or 
adjust
the middle-c-position on the clef.

With this code:

\new MensuralVoice  {
 \relative c' {
   \autoBeamOff
   \override Score.BarNumber #'transparent = ##t
   \clef "mensural-c2"
   c\breve
 }
}

I get the attached music.  I've put the red line on it, and this shows the 
clef centred on the space below middle C.  How do you get it a note higher 
without overrides?
