Hello Anna,
Thank you very much for your trial report.
It is incredible for me of the synchronism, too!
Anyway I'm glad to hear your success. Let's enjoy!
This package has some long-term problems. The most important is
that: people who live in multibyte-character regions (including me)
cannot receive the favor of this package, because of the lack of
e-TeX-based TeX engines for their native languages.
So I'm planning to adapt this to conventional TeX engine,
using the same way of 'Infinite slur ID' (my previous product).
Another is incompatibility with some other extension macrosets.
Motions of the LaTeX2e Project Team may make influence
on musixuad about register assignment procedure.
Placement of instruments names ... flexibility and freedom
are important features of MusiXTeX!
For your case, how about this?
\setname1{\hbox to\parindent{\hss Cello}}
\setname2{\vbox{\hbox to\parindent{\hss Piccolo}\hbox to\parindent{\hss
Clarinet}}}
where \parindent must be hand-tuned, unfortunately.
I think some more hack will enable automatic determination
of \parindent. MusiXTeX itself is multi-pass system like
LaTeX using cross-reference, so a similar way may be applied.
Best regards,
