Comment #1 on issue 1253 by markpolesky: programming error: (de)crescendo on items with specified volume.
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1253

programming error: (de)crescendo on items with specified
volume.

Wouldn't it be enough simply to reword the error message?  I
proposed something a long time ago, without getting much
response.*  Here's a patch that just changes the error
message to:

programming error: Impossible or ambiguous (de)crescendo in MIDI.

Or is there something more to do with this?

Graham mentioned this:
Still looks like a bug.  Our input syntax is defined to
accept an absolute dynamic as ending a crescendo; in this
case, the midi output show just "get a bit quieter", then
resume the same volume.  Either that, or give a better
warning message.

If nobody is going to make the MIDI engine smarter about
this anytime soon, we should at least change the error
message.
