Hi Cameron,
Yeah... \context is okay, I guess, but surely my way of doing this---using \set short.InstrumentName in the appropriate \staff block is the more idiomatic way to go. That way the definition is *completely* removed from the content. It just seems more LilyPondish.
Agreed!I always try to set instrument name(s) in the \score block (or a subcontext) instead of the content — I probably should have started by suggesting that to Chip.
The only place where this approach doesn't work well is with instrument switches, which are still unnecessarily complex and error- prone in Lilypond.
Cheers, Kieren.
