Hi David (et al.),

It depends on how you define “indent” and “short-indent”… or “margin”… ;)
All kidding aside:
1. Perhaps there could be a switch — acting a bit like
PaperColumn.keep-inside-line, but built like RehearsalMark.break-align-symbols
— which would determine those grobs that cannot pass the page margins? For
example, I might want short-indent fixed to the margin and InstrumentNames
added post-hoc (i.e., the current default), or I might want InstrumentNames
added first and [short-]indent calculated post-hoc; I might want any TextScript
or RehearsalMark (etc.) dangling [and possibly running off the page, as
InstrumentName currently does], or RehearsalMark might form the left-most
“printed edge” sitting flush against the margin.
2. Regardless of the above, instrumentName and shortInstrumentName should
utimately have different settings: right now, it’s extremely difficult to set
paddings, alignments, etc. for them independently (i.e., you can’t, but you can
fudge it).
Just thinking out loud… =)
Kieren.
