In general it's hard to come up with a "variable-width" character without 
recourse to technological solutions that are tied to a specific font 
technology, which is something we have generally tried to avoid in 
designing SMuFL thus far.

For things like hairpins, including special "messa di voce" pairs of 
hairpins, I think it is better to recommend that the scoring application 
handles the drawing of these.
