Re: Renaming \setTextCresc, \setHairpinCresc, etc.

This behaviour is recorded as a bug - Issue 143 "\setTextCresc incorrectly 
applied only once".  It does beg the question, though, as to which behaviour 
would be the most useful - persistence with On/Off commands (requiring a 
bug-fix) or just the one-time action as now.

If we go for a name change I prefer \crescTextOn/Off.  This way the Off 
reverts to the default behaviour like all the other On/Off commands.
