After finding out that:
(1) It looks like the syntax is defined by the first atom in pairs
`\<' and `\|', `\cr' and `\rc', and `\cresc' and `\endcresc'
-- this was found by mixing the definitions.
and
(2) The sorter syntaces `\cr' and `\<' seem to produce similar results,
which is the angle-syntax.
(3) The longer syntax `\cresc' `\endcresc' produces text 'cresc - - -'.
Ok, now your point becomes more clear.
The definition for `\cresc' and `\endcresc, for example, are in
`ly/spanners-init.ly':
cresc = \notes {
#(ly:export (make-event-chord (list cr)))
\property Voice.crescendoText = \markup { \italic "cresc." }
\property Voice.crescendoSpanner = #'dashed-line
}
endcresc = \notes {
#(ly:export (make-event-chord (list rc)))
\property Voice.crescendoText \unset
\property Voice.crescendoSpanner \unset
}
Therefore, \cresc is nothing but \cr with crescendoText and
crescendoSpanner set to some values. The logic is clear and sharp.
Similarly, you can define `\moltocresc' and `\endmoltocresc' to meet
your needs.
