left-margin and shortInstrumentName

Hello everyone,

I'm noticing that when I give instruments a shortInstrumentName in a score, that the short name doesn't respect the left margin the way the instrumentName does. Is there a way to make this happen? Or, is there a way to tell LilyPond to print the page margins? That way I could get the result I'm after using short-indent in the \paper block. As it is, I can fudge it, but I'm rather particular when it comes to precision.

Thanks,

David

\paper {
 left-margin = 0.5\in

 ragged-right = ##t
}

notes = {
 a4 e' a e \break
 a e a,2 \bar "|."
}

\score {
 \new Staff = "Violin" {
   \set Staff.instrumentName = "Violin"
   \set Staff.shortInstrumentName = "Vn."
   \relative c'

   \notes
 }
}
