I think that display looked just fine!

I'd also suggest reordering the lines within each cluster mean so that
(e.g.) all the lines going from 1a to 2a are all in the same position
(i.e. at the top of the bundle of lines, not interspersed throughout).

And again, think about using the colour for something useful, maybe
the value of the variable that you're averaging over to get the y
position.
