Since by far the easiest time to press a change is before a first
version is installed, people should speak up now if they feel that
<c' \next \easyHeadsOn e' g'> is significantly better than
<c' \single \easyHeadsOn e' g'> for changing just the head on e', or if
they think they have another good name.
From a relatively uninformed point of view, \single seems to be
directly and tightly coupled to the object following it, and only to
that one object, only for the life of that object. \next doesn't seem
quite so definite and restricted, for some reason, perhaps because there
could be an implication that it applies to the next instance of the
object either before or after the \next token. It's early and the
caffeine level is rather low in the brain stem, but \single is the more
clear term for me.
Cheers,
Colin
