Not exactly the most intuitive order I have to say.  \breathe does not
take a postevent, though, so the alternative would be the use of
<>\footnote or equivalent, either before or after \breathe itself:
\breathe creates an event without duration.

This is one case where the postevent order is not helpful, because the
thing you want to modify itself does not take a postevent.  Putting the
postevent on c2 instead delivers it at the right point of time, but this
is plainly counterintuitive.
