Re: shorten hairpin

[Kieren MacMillan]

Hi Helge,

> How can I code this more elegant and avoid the changes?

Maybe something like this?

cello = \relative c' {
  \time 6/8
  <<
    { fis'2.\downbow ~ | fis4. r }
    { s8\p\> s\! }
  >>
}

\layout {
  \context {
    \Score
    \override Hairpin.minimum-length = #4
  }
}

\score { \new Staff \cello }

Hope this helps!
Kieren.
