Re: set Hairpin length as percentage of "normal"?

How great!!! Thank you, everyone responsible!  =)

Given the new code required for that, are there any new ways to get  
Hairpins to stop before the next note (even if it's not right after a  
barline) or have (e.g.) a whole note with a half-note-duration  
Hairpin (e.g., covering beats 1 and 2, or even 3 and 4)?

Many thanks,
Kieren.
