Hi Chip,

When I use this in my score -
\set Staff.shortInstrumentName = #"Trump 1"
and print the many parts from it, every part has the short name before every staff

Yep!  =)

I was hoping using the shortname would only apply to the score, as I think it should

Why "should" it?

there must be an override to make the shortInstrumentName not appear on the individual parts?

One possibility would be to use something along the lines of

    \context { \Staff \override InstrumentName #'stencil = ##f }

in the \layout block of your part(s).

HTH!
Kieren.
