In an orchestral score, instrument names are printed left side of the staves.
This can be achieved by setting Staff.instrument
and Staff.instr
. This will print a string before
the start of the staff. For the first start, instrument
is
used, for the next ones instr
is used.
\set Staff.instrument = "Ploink " \set Staff.instr = "Plk " c1 \break c''
You can also use markup texts to construct more complicated instrument names, for example
\notes { \set Staff.instrument = \markup { \column < "Clarinetti" { "in B" \smaller \flat } > } { c''1 } }
Program reference: InstrumentName.
When you put a name on a grand staff or piano staff the width of the brace is not taken into account. You must add extra spaces to the end of the name to avoid a collision.
