Re: Naming a StaffGroup

[Torsten Hämmerle]

Hi Joei,

You can move the ChoirStaff's shortInstrumentName almost wherever you want
by using an appropriate markup.
There's a mean little trick combining an empty markup " " with the actual
instrument markup so that a \translate will take effect:

%%%%%%
gruppe = \new StaffGroup
\with {
  instrumentName = \markup \rotate #90 "Chor II_l" 
  shortInstrumentName = \markup \combine " " \translate #'(2.5 . 0) \rotate
#90 "Chor II_s" 
}
%%%%%%

… and that's what it looks like after the shortInstrumentName markup
manipulation:

HTH,
