Re: How to lengthen dynamics hairpin

[Bertalan Fodor]

I was thinking about it and I think the problem is general with 
dynamics. I suppose they shouldn't start and end where they do now. They 
start too late and end too soon. The latter is more important. Some 
hand-engraved score could help deciding this. Generally I feel that the 
< and > mark should include the noteheads they belong to.
