Sure, that's a point. However, I would be totally content with some property like extra-right-offset and extra-left-offset, to tweak the beginning and ending of the hairpin. Now I can't see any property for this. Are you considering whether or not you might want to leave room for other expressio

I would like to lengthen the dynamics hairpin in this case: d16\> dis\! Setting minimum-length is not good, because it makes bigger space between the two notes. The problem is essentially that the end of the decrescendo is always attached to the left side of the note and not the right side (whic
