Unfortunately, in midi.scm the instrument-names-alist is not define-public'ed, 
so by default you don't have access to that list... If you change the define 
to define-public, you can simply do (the mapping of the lambda function is 
simply to get line breaks and quotes around the strings, otherwise you'll get 
a space-delimited list without quotes, where unfortunately the elements also 
contain spaces...):

lilypond -e '(map (lambda (x) (display (format "~s~%" (car x)))) 
instrument-names-alist)'

Cheers,
Reinhold
