This is a fairly difficult job for lilypond to do - I'm not sure if there's an
issue on our isuse tracker open for this, but it's worth e-mailing the bug list
just to check.
A quick idea (you'd have to make it un-ugly, but the functionality is there):
\version "2.14.0"
preface = \markup {
\general-align #Y #CENTER { \score { { \mark "Priest" a' a' a' } \layout {} }
ALTO }
}
\score {
\new ChoralStaff <<
\new Staff
\with {
instrumentName = \preface
}
{ a' a' a' a' }
\new Staff { R1 }
>>
\layout { indent = 40 }
}
Cheers,
MS
