You can do this with the caret! Here’s a quote from Pianoleo in another thread…

This already is implemented.

1. Place caret where you want to start the hairpin.
2. Type < or > (no need for the popover, but the popover works too)
3. Use the right arrow key to advance the caret to where you want the hairpin to end.
4. Type ? (yes, a question mark)

The hairpin will not appear at all until you’ve completed all four steps.

Alternatively,

1. Place caret where you want to start the hairpin.
2. Type < or > (no need for the popover, but the popover works too)
3. Type the duration you’d like the hairpin to be, e.g. if you’d like a hairpin that lasts for a quarter/crotchet, type 6.
4. Hit Space. (Optionally continue hitting Space to extend the hairpin by the selected duration.)

Again, the hairpin won’t appear at all until you’ve completed all four steps.
