Hi Chuck, The Duncan hairpins are font glyphs so their thickness isn't adjustable. Also, as you know, another consequence of them being font glyphs is that the lengths are fixed as well, so I'm not sure they'd work well for Jef's situation if he needs them to be rhythmically precise in both score and parts. The measure widths and beat spacing between score and parts would have to be identical -- either that or he'd need to use a separate set of expressions for both score and parts, at which point I'm not sure he'd be coming out ahead vs. just using smart shapes.
