The only way I know is to use a dynamics context and vary the length of the 
spacer rests the occur between the start and end of the hairpin.

  ​I would like to define the specific points where the hairpin ends and 
begins. "minimum-length" does not allow me to shorten it or lengthen it without 
changing the note spacing. Is there a way, kind of like with slurs and ties, to 
define the exact placement of the beginning and end of the hairpin?​
