Hi Orm,

I know what you're looking for with the interrupted hairpin, but,
unfortunately, I'm pretty sure there is *not* currently a way to do
this. I'd definitely be interested in hearing about it if you do
discover a way, however.

Also, if the contemporary score you're working on turns out well (and
if there aren't personal or copyright issues) it might be interesting
to publish a finished snippet or two back to the list as a successful
example of contemporary notation with Lily. (Of course the composer
might object, but it can't hurt to check.)

Good luck with the hairpins.
