Some engravers make it more compact: In my edition of the same music, only the first, indented part has the instrument names, the latter which further are broken into lines. For example Violoncello e Cembalo. (actually with an ending "."). In an orchestral score (Carmina Burana) with a higher number of instruments (taking up the whole page), all staff systems have names, but they are abbreviated and broken into lines as well. For example Clar.bosso Sib Interestingly skipping space after the ".". Hans ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
