Re: truncated math mode in Staff.instrument

[Mats Bengtsson]

Use single dollar signs instead of double! $$...$$ produces an
equation typeset on its own line, whereas $...$ produces an
equation within a line of text (or music in this case).

However, just as you, I find it very strange that LilyPond breaks the
string into several strings. I consider that a bug.
