For every name, we need to calculate the ideal position of all names all over again. If there were some way to cache the results of that calculation, do it once and then just look it up, that would be great. I wonder if a grouping grob which contains all the individual InstrumentName grobs and handles their relative positioning would be a better way to go. > > The only thing that I would further request (and this applies to > instrumentName in general) is that the indent variable automatically adjust > itself to be larger to compensate for names that run into the left margin > (and sometimes off the page entirely!).

Not sure what the best practice would be. After all, you do want the numbers you set for indent and short-indent to exactly match what you specify. Maybe there should simply be a warning? David
