i didn't mention that as step 0, as LSR snippets are so outdated that
I always run convert-ly when i borrow a snippet from there. :)

for the OP it might be worth mentioning that changing CENTER to RIGHT
will only work for crescendos. decrescendos will need LEFT or setting
dynamically from the value of Hairpin.direction. While you're at it,
you could look at the Hairpin.height property to increase the opening
of the "jaws", giving your text some more space.
