Re: left-margin and shortInstrumentName

[James Bailey]

I don't know if it's changed in the development version, but it used  
to be that instrumentName and shortInstrumentName never respected the  
margins, and you'd have to adjust the margins accordingly. For  
example, if you add indent = 0 to your /paper block, you'll notice  
that nothing stays outside of the margin. Or if you change the  
instrumentName or shortInstrumentName to an extremely long string,  
e.g., "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
