 I'm using 2.18.2 and have 1 measure then 1 measure of \new Staff {\clef

    less important) then ten measures and 3 measures of a \new Staff etc both
    I'd like to label with an instrument (1st Clarinet 2nd Viola).
    Using the ossia format I've not figured this out...Please direct me to the
    correct part of manuals.

<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/modifying-single-staves#ossia-staves> should help. For the labels, use two separate ossia staves and insert ‘instrumentName = "foo"’ into the \with {} block.
If there are further problems, it might help to post a compilable, small example.
