Editing Moving the ends of hairpins

The ends of hairpins may be offset by setting the <code>shorten-pair</code> property of the <code>Hairpin</code> object. Positive values move endpoints to the right, negative to the left. Unlike the <code>minimum-length</code> property, this property only affects the appearance of the hairpin; it does not adjust horizontal spacing (including the position of bounding dynamics). This method is thus suitable for fine-tuning a hairpin within its allotted space.
