I tried to achieve it but it's the first time I write such an advanced function.
Can you please review it?

breathe=
#(define-music-function (parser location) ()
            (make-music 'SequentialMusic
              'origin location
              'elements   (list (make-music 'EventChord
              'elements   (list
                (make-music 'BeamForbidEvent)))
        (make-music  'EventChord
          'elements (list
       (make-music 'BreathingEvent))))))


{
        c'8 \breathe d'
}

I have to confess I have no idea how to create the property (nor how
to name it :)

Yes... However, I'm happy to see that you regard it as a potentially
good idea ;)
