I don't know whether it matters that English is my first language, or 
that I am a professional programmer, but I am comfortable with the 
difference between

    \musicLength { ... }

being the length of _that_ music, and

    VoltaBracket.musical-length

being the length of the bracket in the musical timeline, not necessarily 
referring to an instance of music data.

\musicalLength wouldn't bother me except because the Scheme function 
behind it is ly:music-length:

    $ git grep -h -A4 'musicLength ='
    musicLength =
    #(define-scheme-function (music) (ly:music?)
       (_i "Return the length of @var{music} as a moment.")
       (ly:music-length music))
