Hi Pierre-Luc,

Rambling here :
So, I *love* the simplicity and elegance of the \after command and I
am using it pretty much everywhere.
{
<>(
<>\<
\after 2 \>
\after 16*15 )
\after 16*15 \!
\repeat unfold 8 {e''16 d''} |
}
and since then I often end up doing head math to figure out what I
must add to \after for it to end up e.g. an 8th *before* the end of
the expression. In the above example it is quite easy :
a 16th before the end is... 16*#(- 16 1).
So what about a \beforeLast command that would do sort of the \after
job but starting from the end of the expression rather from the start
?
e.g. :
\beforeLast 16 \!
…
\pænultimus 16 )
\preantepenultimate 16 \!
^ Both above are strictly for laughing usage (provided it could have
such effect).
Should I :

and flag as Enhancement ?
Something like this?
%%%
\version "2.25.9"
fromEnd =
#(define-music-function (delta ev mus) (ly:duration? ly:music? ly:music?)
(_i "Add music @var{ev} with a distance of @var{delta} before the end of
@var{ev} is usually a post-event.")
#{
\context Bottom
<<
{
\skip $(make-duration-of-length (- (ly:music-length mus)
(ly:duration-length delta)))
<> $ev
}
#mus
>> #})
{
<>(
<>\<
\after 2 \>
\after 16*15 )
\fromEnd 16 \!
\fromEnd 8 ->
\repeat unfold 8 {e''16 d''} |
}
%%%%
\beforeLast (in the sense of "before the last note of the given music
argument") isn't likely to work though, since it's not guaranteed that
the music given is SequentialMusic: What is the last note of a << >>
expression?
