I have what I guess is a typesetting question.  I am updating an old
manuscript and it has a tied note (an f) across a clef change.  In
LilyPond, it needs to be a tie (see slur-as-tie-across-clefs.png,
attached.)  I don't like it, so I thought I'd move the clef change inside
the measure (see clef-in-middle-of-measure.png) but I'm not sure it's less
confusing than the original.  I was hoping to get some keyboardist's
opinions about the two approaches.

Below is a MWE of the clef-in-the-middle approach in case someone wants to
fool around with it.

Thanks for any feedback.
