Hi everyone!

I like using tags in my scores but it becomes complicated:

I want to use tags for:
- layout or midi
- score or part
- first / second / third / fourth time a variable is used

I could always use removeWithTag, but
- for the third case it's not handy, because I would have to add all the tags that I want to remove in every call (second third fourth, then: first third fouth, then: first second third) - it's not intuitive. In my head, I think "keep the score tag", not "remove the part tag"

So is there a way to have something like categories for tags so as to use for example:
remove all tags from category A but score

It's the best solution that comes to my mind. But maybe is there also a better one?
Indeed: only recently, David Kastrup introduced the tagGroup command, which serves for exactly this purpose. See <http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/available-music-functions#index-tagGroup-1> and <http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/changes/index.html> (about at 2/5…) for some basic documentation. More can be found in the related google code issue.

HTH, Simon
