Re: Instrument Name Spacing

[Han-Wen Nienhuys]

hi,

2.7.2 will have a \paper variable horizontaloffset, which shifts the 
music to the right, making place for the instrument names. As it 
happens, I had need for this myself just tonight.

Alternative: you can try

 \paper {
   linewidth = ..shorter length..
 }
