Sorry to interrupt, but what's wrong with prefix notation?
I mean, we code and read music from left to right, so
it seems nore natural to me to have the command changing
the behaviour of a note in front of it.

Yes, I assume, every parser constructor will condemn me for this,
but for readability, a line like

c4 harmonic: d e f (without a leading backslash!)

is easier to understand than

c4 d\harmonic e f
