Hi. With the following example, the instrument name doesn't appear on the rendered pdf on the second staff (the one that uses \partcombine). I suspect it has something to do with the use of \grace in the notes, because when I remove the grace notes the effect disappears.
I have done \grace {s16} in all the parts that don't have the grace notes, because I have read that it is necessary when you are beginning with a grace note or changing clefs. (The actual score I am working on begins with a grace note in one instrument as here. Am I doing something wrong? \version "2.19.3" catOne = {\grace {b'16} a'2 d'} catTwo = {\grace {s16} c'2 b} dogOne = {\grace {s16} a'2 b'} dogTwo = {\grace {s16} c'2 d'} \score { << \new Staff = "cats" { \set Staff.instrumentName = #"2 Cats" << \catOne \\ \catTwo >> } \new Staff = "dogs" { \set Staff.instrumentName = #"2 Dogs" \partcombine \dogOne \dogTwo } >> } -- รพ _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
