Re: Possible bug: Grace note at the beginning makes instrumentName disappear?

[Hwaen Ch'uqi]

Greetings Thomas,

In the case of grace notes, the instrumentName must be placed in a \with block.

GraceStaff = \new Staff \with {
  instrumentName = #"Grace"
  }
<<
  \GraceVoice
>>

Not sure if the curly and angled braces work exactly the same way,
because I haven't done this with variables, but this is the principle
involved.
