-brace is not taken into account.  You must add extra spaces to the end of

+brace is not taken into account. The following property setting can be
+used to move the instrument names to the left, in such situations.

+\override Score.InstrumentName #'space-alist = #'((left-edge extra-space . 2.0))@end example
