Is there any way to use dynamics as prefixes?

I think it's rather weird that you write `c'4\ff d'` instead of `\ff c'4 d'`. Other constructs such as `\tempo` and `\mark` are before the notes they affect - why aren't dynamics?

For a more practical example, playing the same thing multiple times with different dynamics with prefix dynamics would be easy:

```
notes = {c'4 d' e' f'}

\mp
\notes
\notes
\ff
\notes
```

Doing the same with suffix dynamics would be rather messy - especially not adding any dynamic mark at the second instance.

This also applies to slurs - `(c'4 d' e' f')` is a lot clearer to me than `c'4( d' e' f)`.

(This is the first time I ever use a mailing list, so please tell me if I'm doing anything horribly wrong.)
