I don't like it.

Yes, I pointed out the problems:
-) I don't like the idea to introduce a temporary command, which will need to
be changed in the next major version, again.
-) "newcresc" is misleading, it would only introduce a new command name, but
fix \cresc to something it should have always been, anyway
-) \cresc, \dim, etc. are not even documented, so I don't see any reason to
make so much fuss about these commands. In particular, the documentation only
introduces \<,\>,\cr,\decr (which are all equivalent forms for hairpins in
postfix notation). For text crescendi, the \crescTextCresc prefix setter
commands are documented. But the prefix \cresc, \dim, \decresc commands are
never even mentioned (I checked the 2.10, 2.11, 2.12 and 2.13 documentation).
Only the ly/spanner-init.ly file contains their definitions together with the
comment

I don't really see the point in keeping old, broken commands, which are not
even mentioned, much less described in their shortcomings in the docs.
Cheers,
Reinhold
