To change clef, key, and meter distances

You can set various global distances in the Document Options dialog box. From the Document menu, choose Document Options, then choose Clefs, Keys or Time from the list on the left. You will see the options on the right. Now, set the value for Space Before _ , or Space After _ to change the distance between the clef, key or time signature and the barline. The units are whatever you’ve selected using the Measurement Units command. Any measurement up or to the right are positive numbers; measurements down or to the left are negative.

For a more complete discussion of these options, see Document Options-Clefs, Key Signatures, or Time Signatures.
