Comment #1 on issue 3391 by address@hidden: grace notes cause InstrumentName  
to disappear
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3391

That's hardly surprising.  The instrument names are set on the first beat  
while staffs are instantiated 1/16 grace note earlier.  If you take a look  
at our documentation at  
<URL:http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/writing-parts>,  
you'll see that we _only_ use context modifications for setting instrument  
names.  We could conceivably add explicit warnings against \set, but people  
reading the manual would not actually be using \set anyway, so there is no  
additional audience who is going to do things right with such a warning.

For anyone actually reading and following the current stable manual, no  
problem should be visible.

The original documentation issue had been issue 2076, and I consider it  
sufficiently solved.  It would be debatable whether this can be called an  
instance of issue 34 instead, but indeed the timing that is used here would  
not likely change even when issue 34 was tackled in some manner.

So I am marking this as a duplicate of the already closed issue 2076.
