Re: short instrument name setting

[Cameron Horsburgh]

Here's a *very* redacted version of a score I might use, where this
all works perfectly. I'm sure you can figure out what I've done and
adapt it to your situation.


cornet = {a b c}
clarinet = {a b c}

\score{
  \new StaffGroup
  <<
    \new Staff{
      \set Staff.instrumentName = "Cornet"
      \set Staff.shortInstrumentName = "Corn."
      \set Staff.midiInstrument = "trumpet"
      \transpose d c{
        \relative c''{
          \clef treble
          \cornet
        }
      }
    }
    \new Staff{
      \set Staff.instrumentName = "Clarinet"
      \set Staff.shortInstrumentName = "Clar."
      \set Staff.midiInstrument = "clarinet"
      \transpose d c{
        \relative c'{
          \clef treble
          \clarinet
        }
      }
    }
  >>
}

\score{
  \transpose d c{
    \relative c''{
      \cornet
    }
  }
}

\score{
  \transpose d c{
    \relative c''{
      \cornet
    }
  }
}
