Don't Bill's custom staff styles take care of the current instrument name?
I use my own staff styles, not Bill's, but neither one solves the problem I'm talking about -- page headers (not staff names).
The problem is there is no insert for abbreviated staff names to use in page-attached text blocks. So, with linked parts, you can't (easily) have a page header that says "MY BRILLIANT CHART - Tpt. 1 p. 2" -- you have to put up with "MY BRILLIANT CHART - Trumpet 1 p.2". (There are kludges, but all of them are a pain.)
And since Robert's Copyists Helper doesn't fully support linked parts (MM's fault, not his), you lose the ability to have the *current* instrument name displayed in the page header -- i.e., for a part that begins on flute but switches to soprano sax in the middle of page 2, you would want "MY BRILLIANT CHART - Reed 1 (Fl.) p.2", but then "MY BRILLIANT CHART - Reed 2 (S. Sx.) p.3".
