Perhaps something like

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.11.59"

\layout {
    indent = 0.0\cm % remove indent on first staff
}

waves = \relative c' {
    \override Hairpin #'minimum-length = #10
        % 1. P   <   F
        \repeat percent 2 { d2\p\< ~ d\!\f }
        % 2. F   >   P
        \repeat percent 2 { d2\f\> ~ d\!\p }
        \set Score.proportionalNotationDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1 8)
        \override Hairpin #'minimum-length = #5
        % 3. P < F > P
        d4\p\< ~ d4\! ~ d4\> ~ d4\p
        % 4. F > P < F
        d4\f\> ~ d4\! ~ d4\< ~ d4\f
}
\score {
    \waves
    \header {
      piece = "Waves"
    }
}
