Hi Francisco,

When you say `negative offset', do you mean move the column of instrument  
names
closer to the system so the `Tromba marina' text is tucked underneath the
SystemStartBracket, rather than being placed to its left (as in the  
attached image)?

You can use some negative 'padding to achieve this, though naturally it's a  
bit
trial-and-error, dependent on the indent size.

I would love to implement Joe's suggestion of skylining using a new  
engraver to
automate this process, but that's a long-term goal (I'm afraid my modest  
programming
skills aren't up to tackling that at the moment. :)

Cheers,
Neil
