...and not the way too large padding between the staff and the instrument
name. But thanks for your hints, I could track down how bad the current
defaults for InstrumentSwitch are:
-) no outsize-staff-priority => placed at fixed position
-) staff-padding set to 2, which means that the instrument name was placed
half a staff away! I suppose 0.5 would make much more sense (or maybe
somthing up t o1, but nothing larger than that! I find a spaff-padding of 1
already too large.)
-) center-aligned on the note they apply to (=> unusable for longer names)
Attached is a patch, which changes the defaults for InstrumentSwitch to more
sensible values:
-) outside-staff-priority set to 500
-) staff-padding reduced to 0.5
-) left-aligned on the note (actually, in the hand-engraved scores that I
have, most fo the cue instrument names are neither center-aligned nor
left-aligned on the note, but rather left aligned at the start of the
measure...)
Okay to apply?
Please do, once you've incorporated Mats' suggestion to solve the spacing problem.
