Your test case has one very long hairpin in each staff, spanning three systems.
Do we want to insert a gap in the broken hairpin to make room for the span bar 
at the end of the line?  We don't create a gap for span bars in the middle of a 
line, so I didn't think that is what the bug report asked for.

I split off issue 2060, which simply makes hairpins at the end-of-line act just 
as they do at any other bar line.  I will want to be able to do that regardless 
of what you do with your patch.  I also want to fix the original code so that 
it works consistently, otherwise your hairpin-shortening code will need to be 
synchronized to the bug in the original implementation to avoid 
double-shortening.
