One slight quibble: if a user explicitly sets indent=1\cm, then I think it's fair to let the instrument name go off the left-hand side of the page. But unless the user messes around with the indent, there's no excuse for violating page margins (let alone page size!). - Graham _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
