I think he really means a decrescenco hairpin on one note (which obviously
cannot be found in piano music, but is quite common in vocal or string
music).
I.e. something like (in these examples, the measures are quite short, in
reality, these measures in the scores take at least twice the horizontal
space as these examples do):
\new Voice \relative c'' { << { c1 } { s2\> s\!} >> }
or:
\new Voice \relative c'' { << { c1 } { s2 s4..\> s16\!} >> }
or even (and no, this is NOT the \expressivo articulation):
\new Voice \relative c'' { << { c1 } { s2\< s4..\> s16\! } >> }
Cheers,
Reinhold
Thanks, Reinhold. TBH this is what I was concerned about. My main method
of generating lilypond music is by converting from a GUI editor -
Noteworthy. Managing a conversion process which says "ah - the hairpin is
only one note long so we need to mess about with a load of parallel music
and sub-note value spacers" is not the easiest thing to do. Shame lilypond
does not support such a common notation with a simple mechanism.
