While we are at it: Is there any way to vertically center the "instrumentName" 
for a ChoirStaff, GrandStaff or StaffGroup? Here is an example snippet that 
does not work (the instrument name is shown at the top, not vertically 
centered):

\version "2.11.30"
\new ChoirStaff \relative
<<
  \new Staff { c1 \break c1 } 
  \new Staff { c1 \break c1 } 
  \set Staff.instrumentName = "Choir"
  \set Staff.shortInstrumentName = "Ch." 
>>


If I use a PianoStaff and set PianoStaff.instrumentName, then the instrument 
name is vertically centered:

\version "2.11.30"
\new PianoStaff \relative
<<
  \new Staff { c1 \break c1 } 
  \new Staff { c1 \break c1 } 
  \set PianoStaff.instrumentName = "Piano"
  \set PianoStaff.shortInstrumentName = "P." 
>>


But I haven't been able to achieve the same for other multi-staves staff 
types. In particular

\version "2.11.30"
\new ChoirStaff \relative
<<
  \new Staff { c1 \break c1 } 
  \new Staff { c1 \break c1 } 
  \set ChoirStaff.instrumentName = "Choir"
  \set ChoirStaff.shortInstrumentName = "Ch." 
>>

does not print any instrument names.

Thanks,
Reinhold
