Mats and Graham, Thanks for the input on the instrument name trouble I was having. Before I got your responses I found *a* solution. I ended up creating a set of "score-defs" which essentially followed the format of the staff definitions but added the instrument name property. A bit kludgy compared to what is done by Those Who Know What They Are Doing but it worked. I'll have a closer look at your suggestions.

I suspect this may be where the throuble lies. >If you give each staff the same name, you should be able to avoid that: >\context Staff=foo << > bar >>> Hmm, I thought it was necessary to give each staff its own name. Is this only if they're in the same context together? This baffles me slightly.
