Been investigating instructions for specifying crescendos and decrescendos
in version 2.4.3. For several things, either: a) I don't understand, b) the
documentation needs enhancement, and/or c) implementation should be changed.
My test bed is attached.
1) The User Guide, Section 5.7.13 Dynamics gives a misleading example:
\setTextCresc
c \< d e f\!
\setHairpinCresc
e\> d c b\!
The \setHairpinCresc is not necessary because the \setTextCresc is only good
once. Entering \setHairpinCresc does cancel \setTextCresc if entered before
the once is encountered.
2) \setTextCresc has no effect for a decrescendo. Use both
\set decrescendoText = "Decrescendo "
\set decrescendoSpanner = #'dashed-line
And these are only good once.
3) To change crescendo use both
\set crescendoText = "Crescendo "
\set crescendoSpanner = #'dashed-line
Do not use \setTextCresc, it overrides.
4) Internals document allows line, dashed-line, dotted-line, and hairpin.
hairpin overrides text
line gives dashed-line
5) No way found to change default italic font, within \markup or with
\override.
6) \markup is not necessary. Just use "text".
