Re: Small crescendo documentation improvement suggestion

[Trevor Daniels]

Interesting!  In versions 2.11.44-1 and 2.11.45-1 on Windows I find exactly 
the opposite - the first example produces a dotted line, the second produces 
a solid line.

I can't try 2.11.46 as it has not yet been released for Windows.
