Re: espressivo direction

[Arno Waschk]

aehm, i guess i am the culprit for that espressivo thing.
IIRC, it was being hacked together similarly to those articulations one  
can add by "-." "--" "->" etc. instead of being similar to \cresc.
This was the way i found that sign in the repertoire (and the way i needed  
it to use at that time), and thus i thought the direction should follow  
the same rules as a staccato dot or an accent.
In the reperoire of course also exist note heads having (usually longer)  
paired hairpins, adjusted individually to reflect individual tone shaping.  
Those are usually placed below notes as are normal hairpins, and they are  
not yet really implemented in lilypond (except for those workarounds with  
silent second voices..), i think.

Hope that helps, Arno
