The question is should I use a rectangular frame for instrument name changes (for example to note when a clarinetist changes to a bass clarinet, or flute changes to piccolo)?
if so, should it be
(unboxed) "to piccolo" ________________________ (boxed) "[piccolo]"
or
(boxed) "[to piccolo]" _____________________________ (unboxed) "piccolo"
or should both be boxed?
I know it's a rather nit-picky question.
The reason I ask is that if I box the "to" instrument change, then when the new instrument arrives it can rely solely on the instrument name appearing at the head of that system/line.
If I box the arrival of the new instrument, then I redundantly have both the instrument name at the head of that staff, AND as a text item just before the first notes of the new instrument.

Re: boxed/unboxed instrument name changes on staff
My system: at the change bold and underlined below the staff - FL. 2 muta in PICCOLO. At the entrance of new instrument bold boxed above the staff - PICCOLO.
