That one's over my head without investing some time so I'll wait to see
whether it's obvious to the authors first.

It's possible and you should use a function.  "Saving a tweak" (but
actually defining a function anyway if you look closely is actually the
main use case for \etc .

   Both of those functions are simple single expressions where only the
last element of a function call or override is missing.  For those
particular function definitions, there is a simpler alternative syntax,
namely just writing out the constant part of the expression and
replacing its final missing element with ‘\etc’:

     padText =
       \once \override TextScript.padding = \etc

     \relative {
       c''4^"piu mosso" b a b
       \padText #1.8
       c4^"piu mosso" b a b
       \padText #2.6
       c4^"piu mosso" b a b
     }

     custosNote =
       \tweak NoteHead.stencil #ly:text-interface::print
       \tweak NoteHead.text
          \markup \musicglyph #"custodes.mensural.u0"
       \tweak Stem.stencil ##f
       \etc

     \relative { c'4 d e f \custosNote g }
