Asked for an issue on the error message that should be a warning.

Any more discussion on these?

1) The workaround causes the hairpin to be shorter than it should be.
 Either
  a) Allow both dynamics and (de)crescendos on the same event, or
  b) Have LilyPond set a reasonable default dynamic, such as \mp in this
case.
