Hello,  I have a string quartet score, 

and I would like to show the canonical abbreviations for each instrument

to the left of each staff line throughout the piece. How can I do that? 

Ryan.

p.s. 

this is my layout: 

\score {

  \new StaffGroup <<

    \new Staff << \global \cello >>

     \new Staff << \global \violin >>

      \new Staff << \global \violinTwo >>

      \new Staff << \global \viola >>

  >>

  \layout { }

  \midi { }

}

where each \global is a variable defined like the following example: 

cello = \new Voice \relative c' {

  \set Staff.instrumentName = #"Cello "

}
