I'm a little surprised about the positive echo about my little coding.
For me it was more a coding-exercise to get myself more familiar with
\applyOutput. (David K recently demonstrated it's usage.)
I've never seen this kind of annotations myself.
As said before, a cleaner and switched-on/off-on-demand-coding
requires an engraver, as far as I can see now.

Although a more permanent form may likely be achieved by mapping the
function over some music, I think an engraver would be preferable.

I'll try to give it a go the upcoming days.

Cheers,
