No, I am not going to figure out this heap of code without line breaks.
I recommend that you switch off HTML-formatted mails in your mail
program or at the very least learn how to teach it _not_ to wrap lines
where no line wraps belong.

That being said, tags are a mechanism for manipulating input and quotes
are a mechanism for recording input and replaying the recorded results
(which no longer are input put streams of events).

So all of your tag manipulations need to be done by the time you use
\addQuote .  Maybe you don't need quotes here but rather straightforward
music variables: those contain the input and are still susceptible to
tag manipulations.
