Wonderful! Thank you. I had gotten closer to discovering the Hairpin.height
parameter, but my level of understanding starts getting challenged when
reading Internals pages and knowing what to do with them. (Non-programmer,
you see.) Your tip just allowed me to understand enough to add \override
Hairpin.self-alignment-Y = #-3 and place them nicely.
Thank You Again and Happy New Year,
Mark
