Re: staff-wide clef and clef change at the beginning of a piece

[Kieren MacMillan]

Hi Reinhold,

This (attached below) is an ugly hack, but it appears to do what you  
want...
I find it interesting that Lilypond sees around a "zero-skip" (e.g.,  
replacing the grace note with an s8*0).  =)

Hope this helps!
Kieren.
