Both flared-hairpin and constant-hairpin use the underlying 
elbowed-hairpin function (output-lib.scm:1201).  Try playing around with 
its parameters, and I suspect you'll find something suitable.  Then you 
can just define your own version to use:

%%%%
#(define my-hairpin (elbowed-hairpin '((0 . 0) (0.98 . 0.4) (1 . 1)) 
#t))
%%%%
