Yes, you're right that the empty chord (this is what I've heard others call
it) does not actually put the event at the end of the measure, but the
beginning of the next measure. I use a different context for all my
dynamics and I've gotten so used to typing...
{
s2...\< s16\! |
}
...that I do it almost automatically. But I can see now that a "fromEnd"
command would be useful.
