Hi James,
The attached isn't _exactly_ what you want, but is closer ...
I added extra padding on the right of the key signatures to give
the left margin you were after; in the stanzas after the score I
adjusted margins to line things up.
There's probably some clever guile code one c

If it’s generally safe, I’m happy to install 2.25.24 and just stick to
