Re: instrument name padding

[Mats Bengtsson]

Since Jonatan uses version 2.5, he cannot use any TeX commands, so the
answer is unfortunately irrelevant.

However, it seems that Jonatan never tried my initial answer, which
actually works well. To be a bit more precise than in the previous
answer, you can add the following:
\layout{
  ...
  \context {
    \Score
    \override InstrumentName #'space-alist = #'((left-edge . 
(extra-space . 5.0)))
  }
}

The default space is 1.0, maybe 5.0 is a bit too large.
