I used this version in the time it was new.
I looked at the docu aof this version, becaus I once downoaded it completely so
that I had it completely offline with working all cross-references.
For 2.13.11 I didn't find a possibility to download such complete docu-packet.

I read it. But it's not clear. I my humble opinion the line
\set Staff.instrumentName = #"Second"
is nonsens, if it doesn't take effect at this place!

In the 2.11.57 docu there really appeared once „Second“ followed by „two“
instead of two times „two“ in the docu now and in the reality now (and also if I
put \version "2.11.57".

That behavior would more useful for me.
