hmm... not quite perfect.
No other idea, though...
\here misses the relation to the next item (not that \single is much
better).  \directly was nicer in that regard.  \next would possibly also
work.
Having to choose between \single and \next, I would take \next.
After thinking this over, I realized what worries me about \next: next
is a loop control command in a number of different languages like awk,
perl, Python.
... or think about TeX ;-)
  It is also frequently used for linked list pointers.  All
of those common uses in computing are quite grammatically different in
their usage.
But on the other hand, we talk about usability, and I am not quite sure
that *every* user thinks Perl/Python/TeX when he or she writes Lilypond.
And \next seems to be more self-explanatory than \single (at least to me, it is).

Regards,

Marc
