I'm not in a position to test this at the moment, but just for confirmation, will this work with an arbitrary number of tagged syllables through a Lyrics context?

ex:

tagIt = \once \override Lyrics.LyricText #'tagged = ##t 

Thank you for adding this shortcut.

 

 \new Lyrics \lyricsto A {

      \tagIt This is the first phrase in my song. \break

      \tagIt This is an -- oth -- er phrase to sing. \break

      \tagIt This is a third phrase in my song. \break

      \tagIt This is the last phrase in my song.

    }

Cheers,

Carl

Yes, you can use it as much as you like.  (In fact, you could remove the \once in your definition of `tagIt' and have it apply to every syllable.)
