#### InstrumentName

InstrumentName objects are created by: Instrument_name_engraver

Standard settings:

`padding` (dimension, in staff space):
  `0.3`

  Add this much extra space between objects that are next to each other.

`stencil` (unknown):
  `ly:system-start-text::print`

  The symbol to print.

`X-offset` (number):
  `ly:side-position-interface::x-aligned-side`

  The horizontal amount that this object is moved relative to its X-parent

`direction` (direction):
  `-1`

  If side-position is 1 (#X), then this property determines if the object is placed #LEFT, #CENTER or #RIGHT with respect to the other object. Otherwise, it determines if the object is placed #UP #CENTER or #DOWN. Numerical values may also be used. #UP=1, #DOWN=-1, #LEFT=-1, #RIGHT=1, CENTER=0 but also other numerical values are permitted.

`self-alignment-Y` (number):
  `0`

  like `self-alignment-X` but for Y axis.

This object supports the following interfaces: system-start-text-interface, spanner-interface, side-position-interface, font-interface and grob-interface
