  Han-Wen> maybe you can use an Staff.instrument ?

Yep. Great !

Since I wanted a bigger font I used this :

  \property Staff.InstrumentName \set #'font-relative-size  = #4
  \property Staff.InstrumentName \set #'font-series  = #'bold
  \property Staff.instrument = "46."

And since lily could not find that font, I added 

    ((4 bold upright roman cmbx 17) . "cmbx17")

to the definition of paper20-style-sheet-alist in font.scm.

I am now a happy man :-) 


And with the following definitions :

        #(define counter 0)
        #(define (make-instr-name n) (string-append (number->string counter) 
"."))
        #(define (counter->next) (set! counter (+ 1 counter)))
        numSettings = {
          \property Staff.InstrumentName \set #'font-relative-size  = #4
          \property Staff.InstrumentName \set #'font-series  = #'bold
        }

I just have to type this in order to automatically generate the
numbers for each exercise :

  \numSettings
  \property Staff.instrument = #(make-instr-name (counter->next))  


However, one thing is still worrying me : there must be a way to set
the Staff.InstrumentName properties once for all. But I really don't
undertsand everything about properties.

Thanks,
Laurent
