Yeah, this is a problem. Something like Janek's predefined staves would
make it much simpler.

This is a common problem — it happens whenever shortInstrumentName is
used — so it really ought to be fixed in general. (It's issue 766.) The
obvious thing to do is to automatically increase the indent to fit the
(short)InstrumentName. Is it possible to communicate this from somewhere
that knows about grobs to the code that determines indents (apparently
line_dimensions_int or its callers)? (Or involve instrument names in
layout, but that looks hard.
