Re: hairpin cresc. and decresc. do not line up.

[Mats Bengtsson]

If you end the crescendo at the same note as you start the diminuendo,
then LilyPond will make sure that they line up. I don't understand why
you use the extra line of spacing notes in your example, you could just
as well insert the dynamic indications directly at the notes.

However, if you want the change between crescendo and diminuendo to be
typeset just before the middle of the bar, you could do
        <<
        { \stemNeutral gis( e') e'-. e'-. e'-. e'-. e'-. e'-. | }
        { s4..\< s16 \!\> s4. s8\! }
        >>

for example.
