Re: Incipit alignment

[Adam Griggs]

Came back for another go.

This time I've defined a variable called instrumentNameFieldWidth and 
used \markup \overlay to create a custom-width field just for the part 
names. It's a bit of a manual hack and isn't the elegant auto-solution 
you wanted, but it works.

Disregard my earlier attachment. This is a refinement.
