Oops, I'd forgotten how this should be used; it doesn't return a
useful value (since it uses ly:grob-translate-axis! to perform the
shift), so should only be used with 'after-line-breaking.
Unfortunately, 'after-line-breaking is now spoken for, so you'll have
to override the default like this:

\override Score.RehearsalMark #'after-line-breaking =
#(lambda (grob)
    ;; apply shift
    (shift-right-at-line-begin grob)
    ;; call default callback
    (ly:side-position-interface::move-to-extremal-staff grob))

It used to be, but was removed many moons ago. :)

This is probably the easiest way around the problem, since it would be
simple to create a separate grobs for clefs and clef changes so they
could have different space-alist defaults.
