RE: set Hairpin length as percentage of "normal"?

[Fairchild]

Clever!!

For a while, the key construct a4*1/2 eluded me.  Thinking about it and
experimenting, it became obvious.  Can't find it in the documentation.

When I want a hairpin to end short I put in something invisible to attach
the end to.  For example, if instead of 
  a4\> b\!

you put

  a4*1/2\> s8\! b

then the hairpin will end half-way to between the two notes.
