The last time I tried \cresc and \dim, they didn't work correctly or produced ugly results, so I think they are being reserved for backwards compatibility. This is the reason why I have not documented them in Chapter 1.3 of the Notation Reference. I believe the "one-time" text dynamic commands have been requested in the past, but they are not yet implemented.
