Kieren,
You sir are a gentleman and a scholar!
I didn't want to say anything, but each of the three previous
suggestions worked for the MWE, but when applied to my score either
either did not work at all, or only worked for some of the areas that
needed the extended hairpin decrescendo.
This function, however, worked perfectly in all the places I used it.
Much thanks.
Guy
