A good starting point for new features are always the corresponding regtest 
files. In this case, the files are input/regression/cue-clef*.ly (cue-clef.ly 
is 
the basic file, the other are there for various features, like correct display 
at the begin of a score or after a line break, which is a very distinct 
feature of cue clefs, which are printed in addition to the normal clef).

So, I would add two snippets, the cue-clef.ly to show the basic usage, and a 
merged snippet of cue-clef-begin-of-score.ly and cue-clef-new-line.ly to show 
the cue clefs are printed in addition to the standard clef.

Maybe a third snippet can show how to change the cue clef to be printed after 
the barline rather than before (for a snippet see my post to the user list; in 
that snippet you can remove some lines to make it shorter, of course).

Cheers,
Reinhold
