Re: vertical position off piano-staff-name

[Stefan Thomas]

Dear community,
I have once again a problem with the vertical Position of the shortInstrumentName of the  PianoStaff.
In the below quoted example it should dissapper in bar 7, and at the beginning it is too high!
Is there a possibility to change this behaviour?
Thanks,
Stefan

Try adding this hack to your `Pedal' definition:

\override VerticalAxisGroup #'meta =
#(let* ((descr (assoc-get 'VerticalAxisGroup all-grob-descriptions))
       (meta (assoc-get 'meta descr))
       (ifaces (assoc-get 'interfaces meta)))
  ;; Adding piano-pedal-interface to this VerticalAxisGroup
  ;; prevents it being acknowledged by Instrument_name_engraver
  (acons 'interfaces (cons 'piano-pedal-interface ifaces)
         meta))

Yes, the Instrument_name_engraver should ignore the pedal line.  It's
