Not necessarily. Have a look at the attached image: I would like to have the right hairpin rotated to start at a slightly higher position. Currently, as can be seen, I have to move the left hairpin down to adjust the open sides of the hairpins. > I don't have any old sources showing consistency with any ideas > here.

I fully agree. What I suggest is just a default value -- do you know a better one? In crowded situations no compute will ever produce the right result, so you have to adjust it manually anyway.

If you are talking about the opening having a vertical slope between the end of the bottom and top lines, I haven't studied this but have generally observed the resemblance of it, rather than the opening being perpendicular to the hairpin direction. I don't know wether it is intended or not though since it seems in most of those examples that one line or the other was usually made longer, even on horizontal ones (nobody's perfect).

I thought that the hairpins were angled to fit tighter spaces, such as between two crowded staves, rather than to follow the change in pitch. I don't have any old sources showing consistency with any ideas here. If it isn't a normal LilyPond option, I'd like to at least see how to tweak it to have the professional look; it's the LilyPond way and hopefully you guys know the right from wrong again.

I suggest (at least) two options: . Manual offset. This is a real number. . `follow', which means to use the same rotation value a (possibly hypothetical) beam would use. It probably makes sense to define a threshold which gives the vertical delta value w.r.t. the note heads or stem (and staff lines): / /| / | /| x... / | | x delta | x... Hairpins are not rotated if the vertical delta of start and end point is smaller than the threshold.
