Hi Neil,

Do you know if this is the only way the 'after-line-breaking property
can be manually tweaked?  There is some text in NR 1.3.1.2 (Dynamics):

****

Crescendi and decrescendi that cross a line break will be continued on
the second line. If they end on the first note of a new line, nothing
will be printed on that line. To change this behavior, use

\override Score.Hairpin #'after-line-breaking = ##t

****

Is this tweak no longer valid?  I wanted to see if anyone can
enlighten me about this, so I can decide whether to remove (or keep)
this information in NR 1.3.1.2.

Thanks,
Patrick
