I think that < > _do_ belong to the notehead; their beginning looks 
good to me.  It's the ending
that's troubling.  A few weeks ago there was some discussion about 
adding something for cresc and dim:

c4\< c2.\!!

which would draw the crescendo until the end of c2., instead of to the 
beginning.  However, the Lilypond developers have been very busy.

Patches always appreciated.  :)
