RE: Contolling Hairpin spans again

Hello Kieren

I may have jumped the gun a bit (again). It doesn't matter that Midi output is 
changed (for debugging) so long as the bar lengths
are unchanged. 

I haven't seen the e2*1/2 syntax before. Does that "mean" engrave a minim but 
reduce its value in the bar count to that of a
crotchet. The Midi engine would creat a bar with an extra crotchet of silence?

The second solution overcomes this and is much less complicated than a full 
staff of dymanics even if it is a bit cumbersome.

Thanks again your suggestions were very clear and succinct unlike my ramblings.
