Why's it nonsense? "semantics" to me means "meaning", and if I see a
bunch of marks grouped together, they mean (to me at least) that they
all apply together. The fact that they are sequential rather than
stacked is irrelevant.
Take for instance marks! I can't remember why I had the four marks that
I mentioned earlier, but a large minority of the pieces I play will have
three - a rehearsal mark, a tempo mark, and a melody name.
Face it. I (and the OP) are trying to use lilypond. It's not
making our lives easy, because it comes from a different tradition to
us.
And to claim that we're wrong because we're experienced musicians
who've never seem music like you describe (and let's face it, I very
rarely see music like you describe) doesn't make you look good.
