Do I understand correctly that you suggest to change completely the
LilyPond language so that every command that is currently post-note
should be before the note?
Ugh, maybe that is more logical (for you) but the postfix syntax has
been used for many many years. That sounds to me like people wanting
to change the electric current convention so that it is the same
direction as the electron flow.
