Actually, for text cresc/decresc/dim spanners, there is a better (native) 
solution:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/notation/expressive-marks-
attached-to-notes#dynamics

In particular, simply use \cresc instead of \< (and end it with the usual \! 
mark). This approach has the advantage that the MIDI will also contain the 
crescendo, and you have a way to tweak the appearance globally.

Cheers,
Reinhold
