Hi Ben, Yes this is the code in the list archives that I was referring to in my initial mail. My question was actually not so much how to achieve this, but whether a technique for this has been incorporated into lilypond more recently, similar to how hairpins can now be adjusted with the shorten-pair technique common to other objects.
The problem I have with this code is that, finding that it works, I altered it to allow scaling in the vertical axis as well, but that is highly unsatisfactory as the line width gets scaled as well - perhaps why the code omitted that feature to begin with. Espressivo marks are just hairpin-like objects, and I suppose I can just revert to using hairpins, but it's a bit annoying as you have to make a separate voice for the hairpins to start and finish on non-existent notes. This is one of those lilypond things where you give a person an inch and they want a mile!
