This is exactly why I put in a "delete undo history" button almost 10 
months ago. Unfortunately it was taken out the next day because it was 
seen as too technical for the regular user. I'm sure if we called it 
"export to shareable project" no one would object to putting it back in.

1. Select instrument.
2. Hover over instrument name (cursor will turn to the vertical text 
select thingy)
3. Click
4. Type a new name.
5. Click somewhere else to save.

I thought this was obvious because of cursor change but we should 
probably have it in Intrument->Change Name too for accessibility and 
discoverability.
