RE: decrescendo mark

Pabuhr,

When using the << ... >>, the upper voice comes first, i.e., << { here upper
voice } \\ { here lower voice } >>
The music can extend beyond a single measure. Look at this:

\version "2.16.0"
melody = \relative c' {
     \time 2/4
     <<  { b4 b | c r8 } \\ { d,8\> [ g g, g' ] | c,4\! r8 } >>
     \bar "||"
}
\score {
     <<
          \context Voice {
               \clef "treble_8"
               \melody
          }
     >>
}

Subject: decrescendo mark

I want the decrescendo mark to extend from the first bar into the second
bar, ending under the "c,4" node. What do I have to do to make this happen?

\version "2.16.0"

melody = \relative c' {
     \time 2/4
     << { \stemDown d,8\> [ g g, g' ] } \\ { \stemUp b4 b } >> |
     << { \stemDown c,4\! c8 \rest } \\ { \stemUp c'4 c8 \rest } >>
     \bar "||"
}

\score {
     <<
          \context Voice {
               \clef "treble_8"
               \melody
          }
     >>
} % score
