Something else I just though of, is that there isn't a shortcut for

Maybe like ^| or _|

I think that would be making the syntax too "busy".  We don't want
to end up like perl.

Soomething like ^[ is fine, since we normally use [ and we
normally use ^ _ directions.  But inventing a new meaning for |
would be a mistake.

Another idea would be to have a means to define macros,
say like in TeX. This would answer the shortcut question minor
some extra backslashes. For instance, instead of ^|, one could write
\beamup or something like that.
Lilypond supports \stemUp / \stemDown already.

Such macros (without parameters) would tremendously simplify
lots of pieces of lilypond code, but with parameterized macros
it would even be more striking.
