Using "<("">)"G with abcm2ps 3.3.1 actually produces something like:

              (
            >)

to the left of the note, seemingly taking the string after < as a unit and ignoring the middle quotes. This does more or less accord with the 1.7.6 version of abc which says (in the copy from Chris Walshaw's site some months ago) in the section on Annotations:

"Where two or more such annotations are placed consecutively, e.g. for fingerings, the notation  program should draw them on separate lines, with the first listed at the top."

This seems not quite what you would like when using different placement directions.
