It was a quick hack. The new syntax for chords is supposed to be
stored like this:

  <<c-3 e-\trill g>>4-\fermata

  simultaneous {
     note-event { articulations= ( finger=4 ) }
     note-event {
       articulations= ( trill )
     }
     note-event
     fermata-articulation
  }

(pseudo code, but you get the idea, or run to-xml.scm on a file).

the idea is that

 * articulation can be attached to notes for stuff that hangs on note
   heads (fingerings). This requires major mods to various engravers.

 * The new syntax does away with old conventions (i.e.  )NOTE  )
