You can't unset shortInstrumentName here, since \trumpet will later set it 
again... (also, you'd have to use \unset rather than \remove to unset a 
variable like shortInstrumentName)

However, you can remove the engraver, i.e. the internal program part that is 
responsible for reading the shortInstrumentName setting and generating the 
appropriate graphical object for it; Lilypond consists of lots of such small 
independent modules (engravers), where each is responsible for one small part 
of the output. That way it is simple to turn of some output by simply removing 
the engraver.:

\book { \score { << \new Staff = "trumpet" \with { \remove
Instrument_name_engraver } \trumpet >> } }

Attached is the file from you mail, where I only changed shortInstrumentName 
to Instrument_name_engraver (and commented/removed lines that referred to 
definitions you deleted).

Cheers,
Reinhold
