Crescendos and decrescendos can be engraved as textual markings
-instead of hairpins. The built-in commands that enable these text
-modes are @code{\crescTextCresc}, @code{\dimTextDecresc},
+instead of hairpins. Dashed lines are printed to indicate their
+extent. The built-in commands that enable these text modes are
+@code{\crescTextCresc}, @code{\dimTextDecresc},
@code{\dimTextDecr}, and @code{\dimTextDim}. The corresponding
-@code{\crescHairpin} and @code{\dimHairpin} commands will revert to
-hairpins again:
