OK.  Fuller answer.

1) It's easy to create a snippet in the LSR: it was designed for this purpose.  
It's harder to update the main LilyPond package.
2) If the main package were updated, then we would also need to update the 
documentation.
3) All the work on LilyPond is done by volunteers who may have other priorities.
4) The functionality you're using is not needed often: why bother to add it to 
the main package? It's trivial to find in the LSR if you look.

So: if you want to extend LilyPond in a particular way, do what the rest of us 
here have done: read the Contributors Guide and start work.

  I started using lilypond two weeks ago, wouldn't be a bit presumptuous for me 
to propose this? Why the person that create the snippet does not propose it?

      Thank you!! It works, very nice!

      Usual question (usual for me): why this functionality is not part of the
      standard lilypond?


    Usual answer:
