Rambling here : So, I *love* the simplicity and elegance of the \after command and I am using it pretty much everywhere.
{ <>( <>\< \after 2 \> \after 16*15 ) \after 16*15 \! \repeat unfold 8 {e''16 d''} | } and since then I often end up doing head math to figure out what I must add to \after for it to end up e.g. an 8th *before* the end of the expression. In the above example it is quite easy : a 16th before the end is... 16*#(- 16 1). So what about a \beforeLast command that would do sort of the \after job but starting from the end of the expression rather from the start ? e.g. : \beforeLast 16 \! … \pænultimus 16 ) \preantepenultimate 16 \! ^ Both above are strictly for laughing usage (provided it could have such effect).
