Hi Trevor,
Can we take this a bit farther for a moment?
I'd love to! =)
Thoughts?
Perhaps if we had spanner-bounds control, and -- more importantly --
could specify X-extent values in *DURATIONS* (instead of staff-
lines), we could say
\once \override Hairpin #'bounds = #'((3 . 8) (1 . 4))
to force the hairpin to start a distance of three-eighths after it
"should have started", and end one quarter note's distance before it
"should have ended"?
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.
If Hairpin were a real Spanner, wouldn't we have the ability to set
bound-text on the left and right (like OttavaBracket, etc.)?
Would anyone else ever find this sort of thing useful?
Definitely.
Best wishes,
Kieren.
