Re: GrandStaff name ?

[Mats Bengtsson]

By default, LilyPond doesn't support instrument names for
GrandStaff contexts, but the program is extremely flexible
so it's easy for you to add the feature yourself.
Just add the following to your \paper section:

\paper {
  ...
  \context{
     \GrandStaff
    \consists "Instrument_name_engraver"
  }
}
