Hi,
I noticed this while replying to James.
\override Hairpin #'minimum-length = #8 does not take into account the
fact that a hairpin can be shortened by the presence of a DynamicText.
"minimum-length" is applied not the real length of the hairpin, but to
the length of the hairpin **if it would not have been shortened by the
presence of a dynamic**. IMHO it should apply to the _real length_ of
the hairpin (the printed one!), even if it is a "shortened hairpin"
(hey, it is usually these "shortened hairpins" that we —the users— want
to lengthen when we \override Hairpin #'minimum-length !!).
It is not easy to explain this, I hope the following code will help you
to understand better what I mean.
