Thanks, but in this score there is not a single heavily rotated
hairpin; I would say that the differences are not of any importance.

Oh, and an orchestral score doesn't contain heavily rotated hairpins
by its very nature.  What I see here is very irregular.

Hmm.  Here's a counterexample that contains `steep' hairpins
(cf. page 6 bottom, page 23 bottom, page 24 top, etc., etc.) – and the
ends are not vertically aligned.

The exception, however, is a broken hairpin, page 30 – here I agree
that the continuation part should start (or end) vertically aligned.
Or may only `could' instead of `should', as for example page 38
demonstrates.

On the other hand, it probably solely depends on the typesetter:
page 40 contains steep hairpins that are all aligned...

My conclusion: It could be a useful feature to have the ends of
rotated hairpins vertically aligned.  However, I wouldn't like to have
this as the default.

I'm CCing this e-mail to `bug-lilypond' so that this feature request
can be added to our issue database.
