Some engravers make it more compact:
In my edition of the same music, only the first, indented part has the
instrument names, the latter which further are broken into lines. For example
Violoncello
e Cembalo.
(actually with an ending ".").
In an orchestral score (Carmina Burana) with a higher number of instruments
(taking up the whole page), all staff systems have names, but they are
abbreviated and broken into lines as well. For example
Clar.bosso
Sib
Interestingly skipping space after the ".".
