That works in a rather kludgy way. I've been playing with the numbers 
trying to get it to look just right. Takes a lot of trial and error to 
get it close, but not 'right'. Adding a note before the tweak requires 
refiguring the numbers, lots of trial and error involved in getting it 
in the correct position. That is an articulation that I would like to 
see work correctly and added to lilypond, wouldn't it be just the 
opposite of the \bendafter articulation? But my guess is it's not going 
to be that simple.
