Re: Alignment problem with instrument name

[Wim van Dommelen]

What you need is setting the indent-values and tune these to what you need/want.

'indent' in the paper block is for the first system, 'short-indent' for all others. Notation manual (v.2.16.0) page 485/486.

Small compiling example attached.

Another option could be to make a column out of "C.A." that delivers you more space.

Regards,

Wim.

I'm having a problem with getting instrument names aligned with the edge of the paper. With the code below the short instrument name is too far to the left and part of the letter "C" is cut off (see the attachment if that uploads OK). Is this a bug or do I need to do something to get it properly aligned?

\new Staff \with
{
instrumentName = "Cor Anglais"
shortInstrumentName = "C.A."
}
%\transpose c g
% CAPart holds the music text
\CAPart
