Re: instrumentName circle

[Gianmaria Lari]

Great, thank you Thomas!!

But why I should prefer "with" version....

\version "2.19.65"

\score {

  \new Staff \with {midiInstrument = #"cello" instrumentName = \markup \box \circle "1." }

  {a b c' d'}

}

versus "set" version....

\version "2.19.65"

\score {

  \new Staff {    

    \set Staff.midiInstrument = #"glockenspiel"

    \set Staff.instrumentName = \markup \box \circle "1. "

    a b c' d'

  }

}

Thank you, g.

Use the relevant markup-commands.
Also, always put it in a with-Block:

\new Staff \with { instrumentName = \markup \box \circle "1." }
