instrument name misalignment

[Alan Shaw]

I have several instances where instrument names are too high, much higher than the staff center line. It happens with both full and short names, but only when a volta bracket is over the first measure.

If this rings a bell and merits further discussion, I can provide examples.

Thanks,

Alan

Without an example, it's hard to gues what's going wrong ;-)

Best,
Gilles

P.S. Keep the example minimal (i.e. just enough code to display the
     behaviour).

You're right of course; I just thought it was worth asking on the off chance that someone would know right away what I was talking about and I could save myself the hour or so it would take to construct a "minimal" example.

In the course of doing that I've found one further necessary condition for the problem to appear: the volta engraver has to be in the Staff context. In the example below, there should be a line break between first and second ending at the default line width. The "Mar." appears about even with the top staff line. If you leave the volta engraver in the Score context, the name is normally centered.

Of course in the example there is no good reason to move the volta engraver, but in the actual music there is.

Thanks,

Alan

Attached is an even more minimal example (for the bug tracker). I also noticed
that the problem does not appear with the first alternative (if the first
alternative starts in a new line), but only with the second.

The problem also appears with lilypond 2.13.2.

Cheers,
Reinhold
