Thanks, I didn't even realise there was a 2.10 manual.

   Hello everyone

   I'm actually doing rather well with lilypond, with a few minor
   exceptions. One is that my staff names don't show up and I get the odd
   warning from lilypond:

   warning: can't find property type-check for `instrument'
   (translation-type?).  perhaps a typing error?

   warning: doing assignment anyway

   My lilypond file consists of:

   {

   \set Staff.instrument = "Bass"

   \set Staff.instr = "B"

   c d e f

   }

   \version "2.10.0"


Have a look in section 8.2.5 of the 2.10 manual. The names have changed slightly:


    \set Staff.instrumentName = "Bass"

    \set Staff.shortInstrumentName = "B"



   I'm using macintosh version 2.10.0. Any thoughts?" And I thought that
   I could make staff instruments anything I wanted to.

   Also, I'm trying to raise a metronome mark above a dynamic once.

   {

     \context

     {

      \Score

      \override MetronomeMark #'extra-offset = #'(0 . 3)

     }

   }

   works, but it raises the metronome mark every time and adding
   \once doesn't work. I'm sure I'm just not understanding the manual
   well.


Anything in the layout block will apply to the whole piece. If you want to use the directive once, put it immediately before the metronome mark in the music (untested):

[music]
a b \once \override MetronomeMark #'extra-offset = #'(0 . 3) \tempo 4=120 c d
[more music]

Hope this helps!
