No need, really.  The point of what <> does in relation to time is
brought across by the example(s) I put in.  Adding more complex examples
is not going to be more educational.

Hairpins don't attach to notes or barlines, by the way, but to musical
moments (via a horizontal position).  This is in contrast to accents
like -. or ( or so: if those find only a bar line or \skip, they don't
appear.
