No, a tag expects music rather than a \bookpart. The purpose is with a
multi-movement work, to be easily able to change which movements are
printed by changing the variable at the top of the main file. For
example, if I’m working on the second movement, I don’t need the first
movement to be compiled. It’s easy enough to get any given score to
contain the music you want or {} with define-music-function, but there
are still headers and pagebreaks on the empty scores, which I don’t
want. So I want to ‘elevate’ the decision to the level of \bookpart.
