I am working on the following score. However, when I change “S” and “A” in the score attributes to “Soprano” and “Alto” the words get cut-off. How can I avoid this? I had tried:

 

 

      instrumentName = \markup \center-column\left-align { "S" "A" }

 

but that did not work.

Play around with values for the paper variables "indent" and "short-indent":

Those control the fixed space before systems (i.e., they will stay the same size regardless of the text length of instrumentName and shortInstrumentName), so increasing their value may be necessary if you are using a longer text strings.
