Thanks a lot. However, this produces the attached image. Apologize if I was not clear, I would like to right align the "1 2" (i.e., closer to the brace, as in the original). Also, where can I learn about the various ways of markup? 
Also, what does \null and the \override do? Can you please give me a small description, so that I learn how to do this in the future?

Thanks a lot again.

Newbie question, 
How do I make the "Flute" instrument name appear like the one in the image i.e., along with the 1 2 player information, with the correct alignment. Thanks. 

 

please have a look at the correponding entries in the manuals, e.g. http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.15/Documentation/notation-big-page#text-markup-commands

for your example you can define a different line-width (it must of course be compatible with the indentation in the \paper section)

\paper {
  indent = 15
}
\new GrandStaff <<
  \new Staff \with {
    instrumentName = \markup
    \override #'(line-width . 10)
    \fill-line {
      \vcenter \column { \null "Flute" }
      \column {  "1"  "2" }
      }
  }
  {c d e f}
  \new Staff \with {
    instrumentName =  \markup
    \override #'(line-width . 8)
    \fill-line { "Piccolo" \null }
  }
  {c d e f}
