Hello,

I have a staff for a cello where the player should reduce the tone during the note quite fast. Therfore the normal haiping like this is too long:

\version "2.18.0"

cello = \relative c' {

  \time 6/8

  \key a\major

  \clef tenor

  fis2.~\downbow\p\>     %%% this is the hairpin line

  |

  fis4.\! r8 r4

}

harp = \relative c' {

  \time 6/8

  \key a\major

  r16 e e e e e 

  r16 e e e e e 

}

\score {

  <<

    \new Staff \cello

    \new Staff \harp

  >>

}

I have somehow written something that looks nearly like what I want to achive

cello = \relative c' {

  << 

    { s8\p\> s\! } \\

    { fis'2.^~^\downbow | fis4.  }

  >>

  r8 r4

}

But this is ugly to code and not perfect to read. 

- The tie sarts at a different point. 

- The dots are a line too low.

- The piano is a bit too left.

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

You may have a look at the \at function in
