Hi Kieren, Really interesting point actually. Can we take this a bit farther for a moment?
I love the idea of "durated" spanners, and, in fact have just such a concept in some of the (non-lily) code I write to model parts of my notation in larger pieces. That said, I have a question for you: let's say that we have this: c'1 \>1 \time 5/8 d'4 e'4. What is the ideal "spot" for the decrescendo to end? 1. just before the barline like tupletFullLength? 2. dead underneath the barline like an under-fermata? 3. under the time signature? 4. under the d'4? Thoughts? And now for a follow-up question (which is one that I'm intensely interested in): can we possbly engineer a way to get this: c'1 \f \>1 \p \time 7/8 d'4 \f e'4. What I'm looking for here is a way of spanning the full length of the c'1 with a hairpin that goes from f to p, followed by a new f on the following d'4. Now, one way of looking at this is to say that the notation should instead be ... c'1 \f \> \time 5/8 d'4 \sf e'4. ... or something, but that drives me *crazy*. I would absolutely love a way to "outline" the full duration of an arbitrat note with a spanner / hairpin *with text elements in both the left and right edges* and then follow that *on the next note* with another text element ... or another such doubly-marked, full-duration spanner. Would anyone else ever find this sort of thing useful? Or am I uniquely obsessed with outlining the full durations of individual notes in this way?
