... 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).
