Questions about articulation settings for the GDP

[Eyolf Østrem]

I'm working on the articulations for the GDP, and I've ran into some
things that I would need assistance on:

1. Automatic placement. I think there should  be a brief note about
what the rules are for how they are placed by default. Opposite of the
stem? How about polyphony? According to the voice number?

2. I've tried to work with different values for crescendoSpanner, but
there is no difference between line and dashed-line -- they both
produce a dashed line. Here's the example from the manual (ran with v.
2.11.34):

\set crescendoText = \markup { \italic "cresc. poco" }
\set crescendoSpanner = #'line
a'2\< a a a a a a a\!\mf

3. similar problem with \override Hairpin #'after-line-breaking = ##t
It should, as I've understood it, let the hairpin continue to the
first note on the following line, but that doesn't happen here.
