Re: smaller distance between first Staff and TimeSig

[Kieren MacMillan]

Hi Stefan,

Have you considered abandoning the TimeSig context, and simply  
adjusting the TimeSignature of the topmost Staff directly? Using  
#'font-size, #'X-extent, and #'X-offset (or #'extra-offset), you can  
get the same effect, with perfect spacing every time -- the only  
thing you need to worry about is \RemoveEmptyStaffContext, but that  
can also be worked around (with a few well-placed macros).

Hope this helps!
Kieren.
