\offset can be applied to music expressions. And something like
\offset \offset c' positions #'(2 . 3) Y-offset #'3
would be a lot less pleasant to read than
\offset Y-offset #'3 \offset positions #'(2 . 3) c'
For that reason, \tweak-like expressions generally take the music
expression to be tweaked as their last argument. That makes nesting
them reasonably clean.
