adapt to instrument names' length.

maybe not exactly what is asked for, but look at it the other way round:

given a certain indentation the instrument name should automatically adapt  
to it (this of course works only when corresponding functions are used:  
\fill-line, \word-wrap...)

Nicolas Sceaux has written a function to do this - with this you don't have  
to calculate the line-width yourself! (see the discussion on
