\once certainly works:
%%%% SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.25.11"
\paper { indent = 0\in left-margin = 1\in }
music = {
\override Staff.InstrumentName.padding = 2
\set Staff.shortInstrumentName = "actual"
c'1 \break c'1
\once \set Staff.shortInstrumentName = "temp" \break
c'1 \break
c'1
}
\score { \music }
%%%% SNIPPET ENDS
Not sure why \temporary wouldn’t/shouldn’t, although I must admit I couldn’t
find the right incantation…
Cheers,
Kieren.
