Hi list,
is there a reason for the special order of \offset arguments? I would prefer
\offset Beam positions #'(2 . 3)
or—even better because there would be no confusion with \override—
\offset Beam.positions #'(2 . 3)
instead of the current
\offset positions #'(2 . 3) Beam
\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.
