Re: Contolling Hairpin spans again

Hi Peter,

Here are two solutions:

\version "2.16.2"

\paper { ragged-right = ##f }

\relative c'' {
\clef "treble"
\time 3/4
r2  e4\pp-\tweak #'minimum-length #8.0 \< ~ 
e2\> e4-\tweak #'minimum-length #6.0 \< ~   
e2*1/2\> s4\! e4
d2.  
}


\relative c'' {
\clef "treble"
\time 3/4
r2  e4\pp-\tweak #'minimum-length #8.0 \< ~ 
e2\>  e4-\tweak #'minimum-length #6.0 \< ~   
<< { e2\! e4 } \new Voice { s4\> s4\! s4 } >>
d2.  
}

The first may be a bit counterintuitive, and will mess up MIDI output, but is 
easier to type.
The second is a little more intuitive, but the voice-juggling can get 
frustrating, and it's harder to type (though a music function would reduce the 
effort).

Hope this helps!
Kieren.
