Re: Placement of new clef within measure

Hello, William-

Thanks for the suggestion. Looking at that list of functions, I see that 
LilyPond also has a function
|\breakAlignInsert clef after staff-bar|

which looks ideal. Here's the modified LilyPond file:

\version "2.24.3"
\relative c {
   \time 4/4
   \clef "bass"
   a b c d |
   \clef alto e f g a
}
\layout {
   \context {
     \Score
      \breakAlignInsert clef after staff-bar
   }
}

Unfortunately, this  failed to engrave, generating the error messages

Parsing...
Desktop/Clefs.ly:11:6: error: unknown escaped string: `\breakAlignInsert'

      \breakAlignInsert clef after staff-bar
Desktop/Clefs.ly:11:24: error: syntax error, unexpected SYMBOL, 
expecting '='
      \breakAlignInsert
                        clef after staff-bar
Desktop/Clefs.ly:13:2: error: Unfinished main input

I'm still near the start of the learning curve, so this mat be due to a 
lack of understanding on my part.
