Hi Kieren; Yeah, I didn't state my question as precisely as I meant to.
This arranger uses the mixture of styles **in the same action** (what is a better way to state this?) I think it is fine to use text the first time, then use a hairpin for the next time, etc; but these are distinct actions. Anyway, I was able to get the hairpin to work if I disabled the forced line break and the forced page break. I tried fiddling around with "\override Hairpin.to-barline = ##f" from "Controlling spanner visibility after a line break" in the Snippets Reference, but apparently I don't know how to use that properly, as it looks like a NO-OP :-) Thanks, Ken On Sun, Sep 11, 2022 at 7:37 PM Kieren MacMillan <kie...@kierenmacmillan.info> wrote: > > Hi Ken, > > > BTW, this arranger uses a mixture of hairpins and "cresc."/"dim." which > > seems really silly to me. > > Why not use only hairpins or only cresc+dim? > > There are lots of good reasons to use both in a single score.
