Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the "cresc. and dim. on a 
single note" is more properly known as a messa di voce. I don't believe it 
is normally considered a form of articulation, but rather as a form of 
dynamics; it is also typically not properly renderable using hairpins of a 
fixed width, and for this reason I have to date included only the single 
hairpin glyphs that were originally included in the Unicode Musical 
Symbols Range in SMuFL (since being a superset of that range was one of 
SMuFL's initial goals).

If you could cite some published scores (e.g. which Brahms pieces contain 
these kinds of articulations?), I would be very interested to see them and 
I'm certainly willing to explore this further.
