George's file was linked to in his previous email: 
http://www.nabble.com/file/p20216702/T.ly

The problem was that George had used the \cresc command in his file, but 
had \crescHairpin command _before_ the \cresc command. Moving 
\crescHairpin appears to have solved his problem.

I couldn't find \cresc in the Notation Reference, but it does appear in 
the Internals Reference, where it is listed simply as an alternative 
notation for \<. From George's file, it appears to not only generate a 
text crescendo but also switch the display of crescendos to text mode 
until explicitly changed back to hairpin - is this the intended behaviour?
