\bendAfter (a fall or rise after the note) is part of the solution but the request here is for a fall or rise before and into the note (“scoop”) not after. In my case I also needed “bend” (going from a note down and back again). This set: scoops, bends, and falls is very common in type-setting jazz, big-band and other modern music. I found that bendAfter in its current form, whilst great, could only really do one of the three. Lukas’s script extends bendAfter and adds bendBefore to allow all three.
