Hi Kieren,I think the most natural way to do this would be to define a scheme function, which generates an output def, so that the following two examples would have the same result:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \version "2.19.47" \score { \new Staff \with { instrumentName = \markup \fontsize #3 "Flute" shortInstrumentName = \markup \fontsize #-2 "Fl." } { 1 \break 1 } } nameInstrument = #(define-scheme-function (long short) (string? string?) (ly:make-output-def ;;; do whatever it takes to make an output def with the above content… )) \score { \new Staff \nameInstrument "Flute" "Fl." { 1 \break 1 } } %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%David K. recently made it possible to use multiple \with blocks per context creation, so that could easily be combined with other modifications to the Staff.
Unfortunately, ly:make-output-def is totally opaque, even looking at the definition in the source doesn’t give me (ok, I don’t know any C++) the slightest hint how to use it. What’s more, one cannot use \displayScheme on a with block… so I need to ask for others to chime in here – it can’t be too complicated, can it?

Hello all, Has anyone elegantly solved the problem of having different font settings (size, in particular) for instrumentName and shortInstrumentName? I know I could write a music function, and then use instrumentName = “long name” shortInstrumentName = \myfunction ”short name” or even just use instrumentName = “long name” shortInstrumentName = \markup \fontsize #-2 ”short name” etc., but I’d prefer a global solution that can be set as a context override. Thanks!
