The space between the time signature and a clef change applied to the first note of a system is almost non-existent.

There are a whole bunch of settings in Format / Style / Measure that are supposed to control the amount of space between different elements, the problem is we aren't applying any of them in the case of a clef change at the beginning of a system. So we just need to decide which to apply. I think probably we should use "System header distance" or "System header with time signature distance", depending on whether the header contains a time signature or not. The other option is "Clef left margin", but that's really meant more for space to the left of a clef is the thing before it is a note. 2.3.2 apparently uses "Clef/key right margin", which is its version of "System header distance" and "System header with time signature distance" combined (it makes no distinction).
