Re: Vertical position of cue instrument names

[Trevor Daniels]

Hi Reinhold

These fix most of the problems:

   \override InstrumentSwitch #'outside-staff-priority = 100
   \override InstrumentSwitch #'self-alignment-X = #LEFT

but not the baseline alignment.  Wasn't there a discussion about
this a couple of months ago?
