Not really. If the hairpin is made longer while the note spacings
remain the same, then it will either start earlier in the music or
finish later. In which case, don't you just need to attach the \< or
\> to an earlier moment or the \! to a later moment. This may require
spacers if it's qualifying, say, a sustained note.
