You can correct this by setting the names in a \with block as in this example:

\version "2.16.2"

  harprh = \relative c' {
    \grace { s16 } R1*4 |
    \break
    R1*4
  }

  harplh = \relative c' {
    \grace { s16 } R1*4 |
    \break
    R1*4
  }

  \score { <<
    \new PianoStaff  = "harp" 
      \with { 
        instrumentName = "InstName"
        shortInstrumentName = "Short"
      }
    <<
      \new Staff = "rh" { \harprh }
      \new Staff = "lh" { \harplh }
    >>
    >>
  }

  Subject: strange problem with instrument name


  Hello,
    I just finished the first movement of my orchestral suite. All are good, 
except the instrument name of Harp. I checked other scores, which contain the 
same setup but with different orchestrations, but in this one, the instrument 
name of harp is not displayed, only short names are given. What's wrong?
  TIA

  Regards
  Haipeng
