ClefModifier sounds nice.
So, do you think that the grob should be named ClefModifier and the
context property clefModifier (clefModification maybe?), or would it
be better to have
ClefModifier and clefTransposition?  Or yet another combination, like
ClefModifier and clefModifierAmount?

Well, i would avoid "shift" because it can be confused with the
situation when the clef is actually placed on a different vertical
position (\clef treble vs. \clef french).

best,
