The only mention of incipits that I can find in Elaine Gould's book is on page 433. She says nothing there about alignment of instrument names, but the image of the incipit has them left-aligned, above the staff showing the ancient music. On page 509 she shows two alternatives for instrument labels in general: traditional-style in which the labels are centered and alternative-style in which the labels are right-aligned. The accompanying text says, "Instrument labels may be centered in the margin space - this is the most traditional layout. Alternatively they may be justified right or even justified left." Have I missed something? Trevor _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
