Yes it does: you just have to give enough amount of hspace so the instrument names can fit in. Look at the following snippet (maybe I'll add it to the LSR, unless you have some improvements to propose). Regards, Valentin %%%% Key = { \key b \major } violine = { \set Staff.instrumentName = \markup {\combine \hspace #20.0 "This is a long name" } \clef treble << \Key \time 4/4 \relative c'' { c4 d b c d2 c } >> } sopran = { \set Staff.instrumentName = \markup {\combine \hspace #20.0 "Shortname" } \clef soprano << \Key \relative c'' { d2 g a4 f fis g } >> } bc = { \set Staff.instrumentName = \markup {\combine \hspace #20.0 "Name" } \clef bass << \Key \relative c { c2 d e1 } >> } \score { << \new StaffGroup << \new Staff = "Violine" \violine >> \new Voice = "Sopran" \sopran \new Staff = "b.c." \bc >> \layout { indent = 5 \cm} } _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
