While I don't agree with this reasoning, this is not what I'm talking
about.

Again, you are missing my point.  It's not about justification, but
about *documentation*.  The description of your patch *must*
*document* what you are doing, especially if you are changing the
shape.  Looking at your code changes, this can't be deduced easily.

Regarding the shape: What are the reasons for changing it?  Do you
think that an asymmetrical clef looks better, coming nearer to
hand-written originals?  Then document it.  Or is it an artifact of
your first MF tries?  Then fix it :-)
