 I didn't realize that this definition for veco2 did not work.

  data =: 1 + i. 10000
   veco =: 3 : '(c*1+3*y) + (halve y) * (1-c =. odd y)'
   '(c*1+3*y) + (halve y) * (1-c =. odd y)'(13 : ) halve (* + [ * 1 - ]) odd
   veco2=:halve (* + [ * 1 - ]) odd
   (veco2 data) -: (veco data)
0

So, although your substitution works, it doesn't help.

   veco3=:halve (* -.) odd
   (veco3 data) -: (veco data)

I'll be more careful about testing the results of:  '    '(13 : )

I'd replace ([ * 1 - ]) with (* -.) .
As previously observed, 13 :'quoted expression' won't write hooks.

   (([ * 1 - ]) -: (* -.)) -:i:8     NB. monad
1
   (([ * 1 - ])/ -: (* -.)/)~ -:i:8  NB. dyad
1
