OK, I've played with this a bit since I'm just starting a project that will need instrument switches, and this is what I found so far: This code compiles fine, with no duplication of the new instrument name: %%%%% \version "2.13.37" \addInstrumentDefinition #"two" #`((instrumentTransposition . ,(ly:make-pitch -1 0 0)) (shortInstrumentName . "T.") (clefGlyph . "clefs.G") (clefOctavation . 0) (middleCPosition . -6) (clefPosition . -2) (instrumentCueName . ,(markup #:fontsize 1 #:smallCaps "Instr. Two")) (midiInstrument . "voice oohs")) \score { \new Staff = "one" { \set Staff.instrumentName = \markup \right-column { "One " } \set Staff.shortInstrumentName = \markup \right-column { "O. " } c1 \instrumentSwitch "two" c1 } } %%%%% However, if the notes are included in a variable, the name gets duplicated: %%%%% \version "2.13.37" \addInstrumentDefinition #"two" #`((instrumentTransposition . ,(ly:make-pitch -1 0 0)) (shortInstrumentName . "T.") (clefGlyph . "clefs.G") (clefOctavation . 0) (middleCPosition . -6) (clefPosition . -2) (instrumentCueName . ,(markup #:fontsize 1 #:smallCaps "Instr. Two")) (midiInstrument . "voice oohs")) notes = \relative c' { c1 } \score { \new Staff = "one" { \set Staff.instrumentName = \markup \right-column { "One " } \set Staff.shortInstrumentName = \markup \right-column { "O. " } \notes \instrumentSwitch "two" \notes } } %%%%% This appears to be some kind of bug, unless I'm using the instrument switch command wrong. James Worlton
