Hi, Marcus:
Just a quick suggestion. Why not let a GrandStaff have an instrumentName
(and a shortInstrumentName), just like a Staff and a PianoStaff already
do?
Just in case you don't know, you can always add this feature to your own
scores with
\context
{
\GrandStaff
\consists "Instrument_name_engraver"
}
For more information, see the example at <http://www.lilypond.org/doc/
v2.9/input/test/lily-473581812.ly>.
Kieren,
That's just what I was looking for! I now see that the example in
question, instrument-name-grandstaff.ly, resides in the "Tips and Tricks"
section of documentation:
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.9/input/test/collated-files.html
The same trick works for ChoirStaff or StaffGroup, too, adding a new
\context block for each.
Perhaps this should be mentioned in the documentation, under:
8.2.5 Instrument names
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.9/Documentation/user/lilypond/Instrument-names.html
Or are we expected to search the main documentation, and failing that,
Regression Tests, Tips and Tricks, and Examples, and failing that, the
email archives, and failing that, a message to lilypond-user? It seems to
me, a link wouldn't hurt. And if I knew how to edit the documentation, I'd
add it myself.
Anyway, thanks for the tip!
(BTW, I still don't see why the Instrument_name_engraver isn't part of the
GrandStaff, if not the ChoirStaff and StaffGroup, *automatically*, but at
least there's an easy enough workaround for now, so I won't complain.)
Marcus
