If you want the crescendo to last to the end of the note,
why not do
	a1 \<
	< \! s R1*4>

Hi,
Thanks for that Mats.
As an aside, I have a sequence of (something like):

\notes {
\time 4/4
a1 \< \!
R1*4
<etc...>
}

This throws an error because the \! attaches to the following note, which is
a multi-measure rest in this case!
If I insert an "s4" before the R, would this throw out my time sequencing,
and therefore, generate a bar check error on the R1*4?

\notes {
\time 4/4
a1 \< \! s4
R1*4
<etc...>
}

In this situation, I guess that I would have to revert to something like the
following , and also for situations where I don't want the cresc/dim to
extend to the next bar.

\notes {
\time 4/4
<{a1} {s4 \< s s \! s}>
R1*4
<etc...>
}

It's a shame that the \< does not attach to the following note and the \!
attach to the previous instead of the inverse as at present.
I guess there are syntactic reasons why this is not the case.

In any case, <{} {}> does provide some interesting options for spacing and
insertion of multiple dynamic marks under single notes, which I will
experiment with...

Regards,
Ralph

The solution you've tried is more or less the recommended method.
In this particular example, it's maybe easier and better to do
a1 \< \! s4
but if you want both crescendo and diminuendo below the same note,
I'm afraid you have to do this solution with a separate of line of
silent notes to attach them to.

Hi all,
I having some trouble with crescs and dims.
How can I attach a cresc or dim. to a single note?

I have tried something along the lines of

\notes {
	\time 4/4
	<{a1} {s4 \< s s \! s}>
}

...or something like that (sorry if syntax is wrong!)

But the spacing does not seem very nice. Also, it's a bit of a mouthful
for

what I'm trying to do!
I have also seen situations where there is a cresc AND dim on a single
note.

I can see why the above has a certain desirability because you can sort of
specify the exact timing of the crescendo.

Is there any easy way to get around this?
I am using 1.7.3 on Linux.

Cheers, in advance,
