Hello,

try instrumentName = \markup \concat { B \raise #0.6 \flat " Major"}

Yes, but I don't see a way to use "\flat" in this specific context:

  ...with {instrumentName = "Bb Major "}

My apologies for a badly worded question. Is there a way to insert the flat symbol into an instrument name?

You will find \flat in the index.
