The bass recorder reads bass clef, but it sounds an octave higher than
written, so the clef needs a little '8' over it. In Lilypond this is \clef
"F^8"

But the little '8' is printed way above the clef. Is there a way to lower
the '8' to right above the clef?

Thanks for any help.

Here's how I solved that very problem in a piece for recorders that I'm currently writing:

\clef "bass^8"
\override Staff.OctavateEight #'Y-offset = #1.8
\override Staff.OctavateEight #'X-offset = #0.6

That puts the little 8 closer to the clef, and looking a little more centered to my liking.
Hope this helps.
