Well, yes.  With my suggestion of an additional music expression, this
would end up as

\ottava #1 c'' d'' e'' f'' \locoIII { r4 r r r } g''

with the general use case likely being \locoIII g'' or so (basically,
tack onto the text scripts of a chord or rhythmic event but place after
other music expressions).

Not particularly fabulous, but "next moment" is something that's not
readily accessible at the music expression level.
