This is the pertinent section of the manual for this question:
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/expressive-marks-attached-to-notes

But I have a question for you.  Are you looking to create a text 
crescendo or a graphical "hairpin" crescendo?

In this current example you need to terminate the \cresc.  You could do 
so by doing:

\version "2.16.2"
\relative c' {
        d4_\mp d\cresc e c\f
}

Good work providing a small example!  Do you have a small png image of 
what you are attempting to do?  Small images and small snippets of 
LilyPond code greatly increase the chances that you will get exactly 
what you want from this user list.
