I tried that ... the text moved to the right, but not enough. I suspect 
removing the indent re-installed the standard indent, and the text is 
justified flush with that, but I need to add a bigger indent to make room.

What I meant was I suspect the space between scores is greater than the 
space between staffs. I need to investigate. It's bed time for me now 
(silly o'clock start for work tomorrow) so I can't play with it now, but 
I've got plenty of leads to keep me going, thanks. I'm probably going to 
try shortInstrumentName for the subsequent texts to try and keep 
everything in one \score, but if that doesn't work I think multiple 
scores will work fine.

Thanks very much,
