GIT commit: b3cd356 / Windows7

1) "My First Score"

2) Add new clefs in the first measures

Expected result: as the 2.0.3

Actual result: the barline is too closer the clef.

- See eg illustration p. 93 (Behind Bars)

- In a "real" score: go to measure 71: https://musescore.com/classicman/scores/1951591

Result with the 2.0.3:

There's not enough space *before* the clef either. In the example above, if the note right before the treble clef were dropped an octave, it would bump into the clef.

"if the note right before the treble clef were dropped an octave, it would bump into the clef."

Isn't that the point of smart layout? I can't test this for now (#107241: MuseScore 3.0 crash on startup, missing library), but I think if the note right before the treble clef were dropped an octave, then space would be allowed for it. The point is there's no reason to add space when it's up there, so smart layout doesn't.

This issue has evolved very positively since this nightly/commit: 9f12f2a

I would almost say it is fixed. But right now, it seems that the clefs are a bit too far from the barlines, in any case, compared to the behavior/result of the 2.0.3. That is to say:

I propose to leave this question open for now.
