InstrumentName and ShortInstrumentName are both properties containing a
markup read by the engraver. I think your confusion may arise because the
grob is called "InstrumentName" as well.
I think the easiest way to get more space between the shortened name and
the staff is to modify the markup by adding space to its right:
\version "2.15.40"
\new Staff \with {
instrumentName = #"Violin "
shortInstrumentName = \markup \concat { "Vln." \hspace #0.7 }
%shortInstrumentName = #"Vln. "
}
{ c4.. g'16 c4.. g'16 \break | c1 }
\layout {
ragged-right = ##t
}
HTH,
David
