Hi Gagi, my conclusion is that what I'm aiming for isn't yet implemented in LilyPond I'm confused… Does this not do what you want? \version 2.15.32 \score { \relative g' { g4 b d2 } } \layout { \context { \Staff \override StaffSymbol #'line-count = #3 instrumentName = \markup

Hi Kieren, unfortunately it's not what I'm looking for because I also want the instrument name there as in: *\version 2.14.2 * * * *gong = \new Voice {* * * * \set Staff.instrumentName = \markup\right-column{* * \small\bold\italice.* * \line{\center-column{\raise #1.5 Wind \raise #1.5 Gong }

Yes, that looks very good. But when I add it to my score it looks like the attached example. I think it has something to do with the grouping brackets of the windinstruments and the pianostaff under it.. somehow the *\hspace*command gets ignored then. Cheers, Gagi 2012/4/16 Janek Warchoł

Dear LilyPond-users, after hours of research I decided to ask you the following: - How do I add text which is aligned with certain barlines? This is quite common for percussion notation to indicate which line represents which (part of an) instrument. In my case: which part of a gong to strike.
