Hi Cameron,
Yeah... \context is okay, I guess, but surely my way of doing
this---using \set short.InstrumentName in the appropriate \staff block
is the more idiomatic way to go. That way the definition is
*completely* removed from the content. It just seems more LilyPondish.
Agreed!
I always try to set instrument name(s) in the \score block (or a
subcontext) instead of the content — I probably should have started by
suggesting that to Chip.
The only place where this approach doesn't work well is with
instrument switches, which are still unnecessarily complex and
error-prone in Lilypond.
Cheers,
Kieren.
I've been reading all the messages in this thread and haven't quite
understood all of it, but I believe you are referring to the content
section as the section where all the notes are. That being the wrong
place to put
\set short.instrumentname. I finally settled on putting the instrument
names in this section of my score, which is how I have it now, using the
header item 'piece'. This works well and looks good on the printed sheet.
\book { \score { << \new Staff = "trumpeta" \with { \remove
Instrument_name_engraver } \trumpeta >> \header {piece="Trumpet 1"}
\layout { indent = 0\mm} } }
Whether or not this is the 'correct' way I don't know, but it does the job.
Regards,
Chip
