well, that's what I'm doing now...
but I find the
\apply #(nest-props '((Stem thickness 4) (Slur transparent #t)))
{ .. }
solution very nice. I didn't realize that \apply could allow such
things, it's definitely something that I should dig.
BTW, my text editor is aware of brace matching.

I was not exactly advocating the use of parens, but the hability to
add new syntactic abstractions, at a user level. As I noted, I was
just thinking (dreaming) loud. I do agree that, as it is now, lilypond
syntax is optimimum for note entry.
Again, \apply might satisfy most of my expectations. I'm very pleased
to discover it.
