Comment #3 on issue 1093 by n.puttock: automatic negative offset for  
instrument name positioning

#766 is a completely separate issue.

This enhancement is suggesting an improvement to the current positioning  
code, which uses a crude algorithm to align columns of instrument names  
based on the total extent of the system-start delimiters.
