You have to tell LilyPond what belongs together, using curly brackets. One way to think of it is that within each Staff, you first specify the instrument name, then typeset the music:

\new Staff = "trumpet" \transpose c c {
 \set Staff.shortInstrumentName = "Tpt "
 \trumpet
}

Quoting Stan Mulder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

I'm want my score to have short instrument names. What I've got is not working. Apparently I need to separate the trumpet and clarinet contexts but I'm not sure
how to do that.


\book {
        \score {
        <<
                \new StaffGroup = "horns"
                <<
                                \new Staff = "trumpet" \transpose c c \trumpet
                                \set Staff.shortInstrumentName = "Tpt "
                                \new Staff = "clarinet" \transpose c c \clarinet
                                \set Staff.shortInstrumentName = "Clr "
                >>
        >>
        \midi { }
        }
}
