This is exactly what's needed! Too bad it's not in the documentation...
And too bad it doesn't do what I want it to (it prints "Piano " in front of
each staff instead of once in front of the brace, and it prints headings on
every system of staves--I only need it on the first system)... Also, I
noticed when I made this example (staff-margin.ly) that it put the text
"Piano " right on top of the text "Right ". Is this the correct behaviour
of this directive? It seems to me that the word "Piano " should be centered
between the staves (in front of the brace) rather than be placed in front of
the top staff...
Michael: Your suggestion for tweaking the TeX file would probably work, but
isn't that exactly the kind of mucking around that LilyPond is supposed to
eliminate? ;-p
