Regtest "dynamics-broken-hairpin.ly"

[Simon Albrecht]

Hello,

forgive if this should be an unnecessary question, but: does this 
regtest do what it should?
The description says:

\header{
texidoc = "Broken crescendi should be open on one side."
}

but the code reads

\relative {
  c''1 \< \break c1\!  \> \break c1\!
}

so each hairpin actually ends before line break and there are no broken 
hairpins IIUC.

It’s somewhat self-contradictory here: To match the regtest title, I’d 
use some code like

\relative {
  c''1 \< \break
  c
  c\> \break
  c
  c\!
}

(output attached)
– but, quite correctly, the ‘inner’ broken parts are open to both sides.

So, whatever this regtest was designed for, either it needs a clearer 
description or different code.

Best regards, Simon
