Re: Crescendo hairpin colliding with repeat bar line

Dear Krisztián,

> Can anyone suggest a simple solution that stops the crescendo (and decrescendo) haipins before the repeat bar line and works globally? (I can manually adjust each hairpin, but I hope there is some simpler solution).


I don’t know if there is a global solution in this case (though experienced developers on this forum may have ideas otherwise). My solution is to create a variable with a small but memorable name, and use them as you go. The following is an example that would allow you to type less to adjust the hairpin: 

HPleftshort = #(define-scheme-function (x) (number?)
               #{
               \once \override Hairpin.shorten-pair = #(cons 0 x) 
               #})

HPleftshortfix =  \once \override Hairpin.shorten-pair = #'(0 . 1.2) 

PianoRight = \relative c' {
 c2\p\< c
\HPleftshort #1.2 c2\mf\< c
 \repeat volta 2 { c2\f c }
}

If you find that you have to tweak the amount of shortening in every instance of the hairpin, you can use \HPleftshort #value, but if you find that you can just set the .shorten-pair setting to a fixed value, you can use \HPleftshortfix.

Obviously, you might even come up with even shorter name for the variables. 

I hope this helps you continue your work!
