Re: can InstrumentName padding centered according to the longest instrument name?

[tisimst]

Fantastic work, David! Definitely more involved code than you would expect, but very thoroughly done, allowing for non-centered alignments even. This would make an excellent addition to the core code, IMHO. Perhaps called "centered-name-column"?

The only thing that I would further request (and this applies to instrumentName in general) is that the indent variable automatically adjust itself to be larger to compensate for names that run into the left margin (and sometimes off the page entirely!). It just seems like the kind of thing that should automatically happen, but maybe that's just me thinking out loud.

Hello all,

In the snippet <http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Snippet?id=383>, the instrument names are centered [beautifully!] based on the total indent value.

How would one make the instruments be centered in a block only the width of the longest instrument name (plus maybe a little padding), with the block right-aligned to the beginning of the score? 

Attached please find my solution to this unexpectedly involved problem.

Best,

David
