Hi,
Just a quick suggestion. Why not let a GrandStaff have an instrumentName
(and a shortInstrumentName), just like a Staff and a PianoStaff already do?
Instrument names could even be allowed for a ChoirStaff or a StaffGroup,
though I imagine the need to use it in those cases would be less common.
As I see it, any group of staves should be able to be named, as a group,
with the name appearing to the left of the vertical midpoint between the
two (or more) staves.
Also, whether these extra instrumentNames are implemented sooner or later,
I think the documentation should explain which ones are available. These
are the sections where such an explanation would seem to be most helpful:
8.2.5 Instrument names
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.9/Documentation/user/lilypond/Instrument-names.html
6.4.7 System start delimiters
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.9/Documentation/user/lilypond/System-start-delimiters.html
2.17 Piano staves
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.9/Documentation/user/lilypond/Piano-staves.html
Cheers,
Marcus
