Ending a hairpin on the same note as a dynamic
I'm not quite sure how to explain what i want without talking about the score, so I'll just use the first measure as an example. Basically. I want it to keep decrescendoing until the end of the half note, and not go straight to piano once the half note starts. I can't put the piano on the next measure, because i want that measure to start at mezzoforte. Is there a way to accomplish this without adding ties or invisible notes? Just curious...

To continue the decrescendo through the half note you will need to use an invisible voice 2. All you need to put in the voice is rests. I would suggest a 1/2 note followed by a double dotted 1/4 note and a 16th rest. Drag the p so it becomes anchored to the rest (the line will be drawn to it) and extend the decrescendo by double clicking it and pressing shift+right arrow. To make voice 1 ignore what you did in voice 2 as far as stems are concerned, exchange voices 1 & 2 twice.
I did this in the flute as an example.

Alright, that'll work for now. Thanks!
