Hi,
I've incorporated ideas from Don and Werner into my hairpin \\defs and have
shortened & redefined them as:-
\\def\<{icresc}\
\\def\+>{\zcharnote{-5}{\tcresc}}\
\\def\->{\zcharnote{-5}{\tdecresc}}\
Now by writing:-
some notes \<\ more notes \+>\ yet more notes
or
some notes \<\ more notes \->\ yet more notes
I can get hairpins pretty much as I want them. It is necessary to do this for
every
instrument in the score but OK I can live with that.
I have to admit, however, I've not explored this with line breaks yet.

Best wishes,
Howard.
