That works, thank you.

So, let me see if I understand: you've added an extra voice for a
section of four measures (the two parts within the enclosing ‘<< … >>’).
The additional voice has four skips of a full measure each, and an fifth
skip of zero length to hold the crescendo terminator.

That's an elegant solution. I can see that it will be applicable in many
situations. Thanks again!
