Re: advanced (?) instrumentname setting

[Gagi Petrovic]

Yes, that looks very good. But when I add it to my score it looks like the attached example. I think it has something to do with the grouping brackets of the windinstruments and the pianostaff under it.. somehow the \hspace command gets ignored then.

Cheers, Gagi

Hmm?  I've changed the values a bit and with the following code i get
attached result using 2.15.36

gong = {
 #(define mylines '(-2 0 2))

 \override Staff.StaffSymbol #'line-positions = #mylines
 \clef percussion  g
}

\score { \gong }

\layout {
 \context {
  \Staff
  %   \override StaffSymbol #'line-count = #3

  \override InstrumentName #'baseline-skip = #1
  \override InstrumentName #'font-size = #-3

  \override InstrumentName #'self-alignment-X = #RIGHT
  instrumentName =

  \markup {
    \raise #-0.5 \center-column \normalsize { "Wind " "Gong " }
    \hspace #0.5

    \bold\italic \center-column { e. m. c. }
  }
 }
}

2.14.2 output looks nice too.

Is there anything wrong with it?
