Re: hairpin problem?

[Jay Hamilton]

That produced a new staff (with no other content) with the hairpin below it so exciting but not the kind of solution I can use.

Thanks

You could put the decrescendo in a Dynamics context:

\version "2.12.3"
\header {
 title = "21-03"
 % composer = "Jay Hamilton"
 % copyright = \markup { \tiny \override #'(baseline-skip . 0.5)
 %\center-column
 % { "CC lic 2.5 some rights reserved Jay Hamilton 2011"
 % "see http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/2.5/"
 % } }
}
#(ly:set-option 'delete-intermediate-files #t)
#(set-default-paper-size "letter" 'landscape )
melody = \relative c'
{
 \time 21/8
 g'4.^\markup {\italic "accentuate the silence"}
 b8->_\markup {\italic rall.} [c e]
 dis-> [c b] g4 (g')\breathe e8-> [dis! b']
 e,8-> (dis!4) r

 e4.->\mp g, c r4 r g4.-> e b'4
 r4.\p r c8-> [b g] e16-. r8. dis16-> b'8. e8 [c b] ~
 b4.\breathe g8 [g]

 e8\pp [ dis b'] e, [ c a'] ~ a2\breathe g8 [dis! c] b'
 (e,4) ~ e4\! r4.

 \bar "|."
}
\score {
 <<
   \new Staff \melody
   \new Dynamics {
     s1*21/8*3\> s1*17/8 s8\!
   }
 >>
 \layout {ragged-right=##t}
 \midi {  }
}

Cheers,
Neil
