Hi Steph,

in this particular case it might be useful to create an engraver which 
automatically annotates changes in instrument name. This not only gives you 
the regular overriding interface for changing things, it also gives you a lot 
of possibilities for the formatting of the style in question. See the appended 
file for how this can be done.

Cheers,
Valentin
