Hello Mojca,
first let me give credit to David Kastrup, from whom I got the initial
idea of this code, and some of the interesting methods you address below.

I would only like to ask for a bit of explanation of the code to get a
better understanding (being new to the lilypond world).
1.) I understand "\skip $t": make an invisible skip for this duration.
But what is "<> -" following that? An empty chord? What about the
dash?
Yes, it’s an empty chord – a trick useful in some circumstances. The
dash is just there to append a post event to the chord, as with anything
like c-^ .
2.) How exactly does "\context Bottom" work? The best hit I could find was
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/contexts-explained
but that's not exactly it.
IIUC \context Bottom references the lowest context in hierarchy which
you are currently in. In this case it’s there to prevent the <<>> from
creating an extra voice by placing it inside the current voice, if you
get what I mean.
3.) How much "music" does the "m" variable from the \after function
"digest"? Just a single pitch?
As much as you like, though if it’s more than one note, you need to wrap
it in {} or <<>>.
Best, Simon
