In most languages, the way you format things (naming, spacing, indentation,
etc.) is important, so that a reader can tell what something most probably
means, without knowing all the details. When someone does not respect
conventions, then reading the code becomes painful.
If a prefix music function is consistently named according to some rule
(e.g. a verb, as was proposed), and variables to that other rule, then
the reading problem is solved.
Moreover, if you consistently write a postfix variable next to the thing it is
related to, without space, then you cannot confuse it with a prefix function.
c\p b <--- no space before => postfix
c -\p b <--- explicitely postfix, space is no problem
c \parenthesize b <--- verb with a space before => prefix function
c \mymusic b <--- a noun with a space before => a variable
That's not a syntax/parser issue, imho.
