Incidentally, something like
atLast =
#(define-music-function (parser location post music)
   (ly:event? ly:music?)
   (let ((final
          (fold-some-music
           (lambda (m) (or (music-is-of-type? m 'rhythmic-event)
                           (music-is-of-type? m 'event-chord)))
           (lambda (m p) m)
           #f
           music)))
     (if final
         (set! (ly:music-property final 'articulations)
               (cons post (ly:music-property final 'articulations)))
         (ly:music-warning music "No place for post-event"))
     music))

music = \relative c'' { e16 d c d }
{ f'4 <>\marcato \music r <>^"smorz." \mp \> \atLast \! \music }

looks nicer, but is not exactly manual material.
