Thanks, James.
If you are suggesting to use PianoStaff instead of StaffGroup, unfortunately
it doesn't work because it seems that PianoStaff can group only Staff
contexts.
If you include TabStaff an extra (unwanted) Staff group is created. Try:
\new PianoStaff <<
\set PianoStaff.instrumentName = #"Guitar 1 "
\new Staff { R1 }
\new TabStaff { R1 }
>>
And that's fine: I don't want to use PianoStaff for a guitar :-)
So who uses PianoStaff knows how to center the instrument name.
Who uses StaffGroup doesn't know.
I think that the page where adding such information is this one:
