Subject: Instrument names run off left margin
Without overriding anything, the output of the code below has the
instrument names running off of the left margin. Is this a bug? a
problem with my computer? because am I supposed to use a particular
setting? the expected behavior?
\version "2.12.3"
\paper{ ragged-right=##t }
\new StaffGroup <<
\new Staff{
\set Staff.instrumentName = #"Violin 1" \set
Staff.shortInstrumentName = #"Vln. 1"
R1*30
}
\new Staff{
\set Staff.instrumentName = #"Violin 2" \set
Staff.shortInstrumentName = #"Vln. 2"
R1*30
}
I'd say it's following the defaults for indent. Change your paper block to:
\paper{
ragged-right=##t
indent = 25\mm
short-indent = 15\mm
}
and you have space for the names.
Note: I think the reason the names are not automatically made to fit is
that the left bar line of each system (except for indents) should be a
fixed distance from the edge of the page, and not flexible; and Lilypond
isn't set up to calculate all the name widths, take the widest one, and
change the margins and indents accordingly.
