By default, ambitus are positioned at the left of the clef. The \ambitusAfter function allows for changing this placement. Syntax is \ambitusAfter grob-interface; see Graphical Object Interfaces for a list of possible values for grob-interface.

A common use case is printing the ambitus between key signature and time signature.

\version "2.24"

\new Staff \with {

} \relative {
  \ambitusAfter key-signature
