Re: loco function which adds markup to the *next* musical moment

Hmmm… Maybe even more efficient [from a typing perspective] would be

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

where the function is designed to (1) start the given octavation on the first 
moment of the music expression, (2) end the octavation at the second-last 
moment [or optionally the last non-rest moment prior to the last moment], and 
(3) put “loco” over the last moment.

I’ll try this as an exercise to improve my Scheme-fu.

Thanks,
Kieren.
