Dear Greg,This looks like a good solution, but personally, when I have to tweak things like minimum length in Lilypond, I like to make it apply all the time, which you can do with context like this:
\layout {
\context {
\Score
\override Hairpin.minimum-length = 10
}
}

Here’s one option: %%% SNIPPET BEGINS \version "2.25.11" { df2\mf df\< | \time 3/2 df df( f)\! | \time 2/2 f1\f -\tweak minimum-length 12 -\> \breathe | f2\mf c | c ef\< | } %%% SNIPPET ENDS Hope that helps!
