Hi,

I've read the notational guide for "\>" marking for decrescendo.
To my understanding it is possible to mark it for a note.
However, if I want to start it for a note in the bass clef, is this possible?

I have the following in treble clef (in 2/4 time):
<c e, c>4. d,,16( dis16)

And this in the bass clef:
c,8 <c' g e>8 <c g e>8 <b g>8

I'd like to make the decrescendo to start after the treble clef's "<c
e, c>4.", so that it starts from the bass line's "<c g e>8".
So it actually should not start from the "d,,16(" but instead one
chord before it for the bass clef.
The starting position for it should be bass clef's chord "<c g e>8".

How do I tell to Lilypond to make this happen? I've already tried
"^\>" in the bass clef but it doesn't work.
Using invisible rests is not an option as it affects other notes.

Thanks,

Olli
