Hi, I'm having problems with getting instrument (or technically voice-part) names to appear on a polyphonic score. Where in the syntax, or even in the .ly file do I put the \set instrumentName?
I'm writing some simple 4-part choral stuff on 2 staves, using the template from http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.10/Documentation/user/lilypond-big-page#Vocal-ensembles I need to label each vocal line because some scores are SATB whilst others are SSTT or other combinations. However, I can only get one instrumentName to appear (the lower of each pair of voices). (example code below) What am I doing wrong, and how do I fix it? Whilst I'm doing this, I'd also like to chance the default font settings for instrumentName, to make the font smaller and sans-serif. Can I do this globally, or do I have to do it for each \score in the .ly file? Thanks for your help.
