But you did not follow Kieren's advice. Look at

\version "2.14.2"

gong = {
  #(define mylines '(-4 0 4))
  \override Staff.StaffSymbol #'line-positions = #mylines
  \clef percussion  g
}

\score { \gong }


\layout {
  \context {
    \Staff
    %   \override StaffSymbol #'line-count = #3
    \override InstrumentName #'baseline-skip = #2
    \override InstrumentName #'font-size = #0
    \override InstrumentName #'self-alignment-X = #RIGHT
    instrumentName =
    \markup \concat{
      \raise #-1 \center-column{ "Wind " "Gong " }
      \bold\italic \center-column { e. m. c. }
    }
  }
}
