Hi Trevor, Mats,

thanks for the help! I found the following solution:

    \override DynamicLineSpanner #'layer = #0
    deh2~\< 
    \override TextScript #'layer = #1
    deh16_\markup { \postscript #"2.5 -4 translate 6.2 4 scale 1 setgray 0 0 
moveto 0 1 lineto 1 1 lineto 1 0 lineto 0 0 lineto fill" }
    r8. deh8. deh16\sff bes4~

If someone doesn't know postscript: In order to find the right place
where to white out the hairpin I used a smaller number just before the
"setgray" in the postscript (0 means black, 1 means white). The two
numbers before "scale" change the x and y size of the whiteout
rectangle and the two numbers before the "translate" shift it into
position. If the whiteout has to be in the staff, I guess the
'extra-offset property has to be used.

My god, this is nearly as bad as Finale (I used to whiteout barlines
with a similar method) ;-)

I don't object to that at all. If you think it's worth printing you
can just go ahead and do it. It'll still take some time (although the
musicians are already waiting for the score). If it takes much more
time, I might end up finishing it by hand for the
concert. Unfortunately right now handwriting is still a factor of 20
faster.
