Beginning with Cue in different clef

[Palmer, Ralph]

Greetings -

Things are moving along for me in LilyPond. "Thank you" to everyone who
works directly on LilyPond and to everyone who posts and/or helps us
solve problems.

I'm running 2.10.16 under Windows XP SP2.

I'm working on a transcription that involves cueing from another
instrument. I tried tags, cueing, and quoting, all unsuccessfully. I
can't figure out from the documentation exactly how any of those
operate. I tried what I thought would work and was unsuccessful. My
backup plan until I can spend more time on the issue is to put in the
cues as normal input, and comment the cues out when I want to produce a
score. That was working smoothly and well until I had a part that began
with a cue in a different clef from the part instrument (cue from a
violin part, into the viola part). When I tried listing the key, the
clef, and the time, and then putting in the cue, the staff took the cue
clef as the initial clef. I have been able to get around that by using a
minimal skip, but it leaves a large amount of space between time
signature and the cue (treble) clef. Please see the following snippet.
Can anyone suggest a fix?

Thanks for your time and attention,

Ralph
