LilyPond tries to center-align the instrument names. Long names which
don’t fit into the margin defined by indent (default 1.5cm (?)) are
right-aligned (“Woodwind” in your example). This “mixing” behaviour
looks odd, I agree. You can make the indent bigger so all names are
center-aligned or change the alignment of instrument names globally;
here are both solutions (they also can be combined):
%%%%%%%%
\version "2.19.35"
\paper {
%indent = 1.8\cm % short center-aligned (in this margin), long right
%indent = 3.5\cm % both center-aligned
}
%{
\layout {
\context {
\Staff
\override InstrumentName.self-alignment-X = #RIGHT
}
}
%}
<<
\new Staff \with {
instrumentName = "very long name"
} { R1 \break R1 }
\new Staff \with {
instrumentName = "short"
} { R1 \break R1 }
>>

There is a lilypond option -dpreview which does this iirc. And apart
from that: Do you know lilypond-book?
