One could use something akin to named editor registers.  Those won't
shift.

<c e g>2-!1-. <c f a>4-.-!2  @11-> @2

being equivalent to

<c e g>2-. <c f a>4-. <c e g>1-> <c f a>4-.

Again, this syntax is not the prettiest.

Yes.  But q, qq, and qqq are not intended for use all across the score,
but rather in confined places.  I am not sure that this is all too bad
for writing.  But I also am not sure that this is all too good for
reading.
