This is to request to include hairpins as system lines like system text lines. The reason is, in some orchestral scores (such as those by Kodaly, Szymanowski), dynamics and hairpins are sometimes printed above the whole system. Dynamics and can be entered as SMUFL dynamic marks, but we can't draw a system hairpin like in Sibelius. So just include "crescendo hairpin (system)" and "diminuendo hairpin (system)".

Yes, a temporary workaround, but only for playback, when exporting to Musicxml 4 and doing braille translation, the property is incorrect. There should be a system attribute in the direction tag. Sibelius has these by defining the hairpin line as system object in the Edit Lines dialog, so why not in Musescore? The other workaround is to add a combo box in the inspector to specify if the line or the hairpin belongs to the staff or system.

I really like this idea. I often wanted to use a feature like this.
