Re: measure length and decresendo

[David Stocker]

Hi Kim,

I wasn't reading carefully enough. I thought you were having alignment 
issues.

You'll want to override the minimum-length property of the hairpins like 
this:

%1
\drums {
 \time 4/8
 \tupletUp
 \override Hairpin #'minimum-length = #15
 \times 2/3 {r2 sn4:32~ \f \> }
\times 2/3 {sn4:32 \! \ppp r2 }
}

15 is probably extreme, but you get the idea.

I found this answer in the Notation Reference, section 1.3.1 "Dynamics." 
Scroll down to the "Selected Snippets" part.

Hope that helps.
