NR 3.3.2: \tagGroup

Hi all

If you scroll down to \tagGroup here:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/different-editions-from-one-source#using-tags

you find:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

   \tagGroup #'(violinI violinII viola cello)

declares the respective tags as belonging to one tag group.

   \keepWithTag #'violinI …

will then only be concerned with tags from violinI’s tag group: any element of the included music that is tagged with one or more of tags from this set but not with violinI will get removed.

To any \keepWithTag command, only tags from the tag groups of the tags given in the command are visible.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

I don't understand what this command does actually.
The last sentence is a bit confusing and there's no clear example showing the expected behaviour.

James, if it turns to be a documentation bug please hold on until Friday when I hope I've finished my translation (and review) of this chapter.

In the following example commenting/uncommenting \tagGroup does not change any behaviour.
What I'm missing?


\version "2.19.31"

music = \relative c'' {
 %\tagGroup #'(A B C D)
 \tag #'A { a4 a a a }
 \tag #'B { b4 b b b }
 \tag #'C { c4 c c c }
 \tag #'D { d4 d d d }
}

\new Staff {
 \keepWithTag #'A
 \music
}
