And if we're ever going to move it to a postfix operator (which is
one of
the goals of the GLISS project), now is the time, before we get a
strong
codebase of music function applications.
I'm beginning to wonder whether this is a
desirable objective, after all. There is
already a large set of pre-defs which by their
nature must be placed before the notes which
they affect - all the \twiddleOn \twiddleOff
pre-defs for example. Then all the commands
are pre-fix operators - \new, \relative, \clef,
etc. We can't change any of these. \tweak
and \override are pre-fix.
Now we see a great advantage in writing music
functions - they're easy to write and can be made
to work inside and outside chords. But they
have to be pre-fix from their nature. Is that
really a bad thing?
