Let's see if I understand the issue here. Because the incipit is generated as a separate score hidden inside a music function it is not possible to use the usual override mechanism to change any values set inside the music function, including the value of InstrumentName.self-aligment-X. The default value of self-aligment-X is CENTER, but it is set to RIGHT within the music function because it is thought this makes the incipit look better. Since the user cannot change it, it is important that the value chosen is optimum.
The problem I see arises when the user has a standard for the position of InstrumentName which is different from whatever is set in the incipit music function. A publisher will want to maintain his house style whatever that is, and will want incipits to follow that. So in my view it is essential that a means to change the position of InstrumentName for incipits is highly desirable. David has suggested one way of achieving this, albeit by a rather inelegant approach. I think the means of achieving this needs to be explored further.
