An even easier example is e.g. a hairpin crescendo in a multi-staves score. If 
one voice has a whole note and other voices have e.g. eigths with a crescendo 
from the first to the fourth note. Clearly, the instrument with the whole 
note should also have the crescendo only for the first half of the measure...
(It becomes even worse with a hairpin decrescendo in the second half of the 
measure...)
The "official" way currently is to add a hidden second voice and attach the 
crescendo there. However, I regard this more as a workaround for a missing 
feature than a solution.

Cheers,
Reinhold
