Be VERY CAREFUL about saying "what is common practice". It varies wildly 
with tradition. I've moaned about lilypond's defaults on occasion, 
because it typically follows orchestral tradition and as a band player, 
mine can be very different.

I play the trombone. I *NEVER* see bass clef parts when I play with one 
band. When I played in an orchestra I never saw treble clef parts. And 
yet I play with another band where I see both clefs. The point is, there 
are three *different* traditions - Orchestra = bass clef, brass band = 
treble clef, concert/military band = whatever suits the player.

But as a perfect example of lilypond following a different tradition to 
me - 90% of the parts I play have the instrument name LEFT justified on 
the part.

Cheers,
