Re: Renaming \setTextCresc, \setHairpinCresc, etc.

[Mats Bengtsson]

Note that these settings don't behave like most others.
As is illustrated in the following example, the property
setting is only used for the first following dynamic
indication and is then automatically reset again.
With the current semantics, this means that it doesn't
make sense to have \xxxOn and \xxxOff macros.
I'm not sure if this is the intended and desired behaviour,
so perhaps it's better to first change the implementation
and then the naming.

\relative{
c\< d e f\!
\setTextCresc
c\< d e f\!
c\< d e f\!
}
