Re: shortInstrumentName help

[Mats Bengtsson]

You have to tell LilyPond what belongs together, using curly brackets. 
One way to think of it is that within each Staff, you first specify the 
instrument name, then typeset the music:

\new Staff = "trumpet" \transpose c c {
 \set Staff.shortInstrumentName = "Tpt "
 \trumpet
}
