-line. To compile @file{main.ly} which includes files

cd to the directory containing @file{main.ly} and enter

+Several mechanisms are available to facilitate the generation
+of different versions of a score from the same music source.
+Variables are perhaps most useful for combining lengthy sections
+of music and/or annotation in various ways, while tags are more
+useful for selecting one from several alternative shorter sections
+of music. Whichever method is used, separating the notation from
+the structure of the score will make it easier to change the
+structure while leaving the notation untouched.

-@example

+If sections of the music are defined in variables they can be
+reused in different parts of the score, see @rlearning{Organizing
+pieces with variables}. For example, an @notation{a cappella}
+vocal score frequently includes a piano reduction of the parts
+for rehearsal purposes which is identical to the vocal music, so
+the music need be entered only once. Music from two variables
+may be combined on one staff, see @ref{Automatic part combining}.
+Here is an example:
+
+@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
+sopranoMusic = \relative c'' { a4 b c b8( a)}
+altoMusic = \relative g' { e4 e e f }
+tenorMusic = \relative c' { c4 b e d8( c) }
+bassMusic = \relative c' { a4 gis a d, }
+allLyrics = \lyricmode {King of glo -- ry }

-@end example
+@end lilypond
+
+Separate scores showing just the vocal parts or just the piano
+part can be produced by changing just the structural statements,
+leaving the musical notation unchanged.

+For lengthy scores, the variable definitions may be placed in
+separate files which are then included, see @ref{Including

+@unnumberedsubsubsec Using tags
+
+@funindex \tag
+@funindex \keepWithTag
+@funindex \removeWithTag
+@cindex tag
+@cindex keep tagged music
+@cindex remove tagged music
+
+The @code{\tag #'@var{partA}} command marks a music expression
+with the name @var{partA}.
+Expressions tagged in this way can be selected or filtered out by
+name later, using either @code{\keepWithTag #'@var{name}} or
+@code{\removeWithTag #'@var{name}}. The result of applying these filters
+to tagged music is as follows:
+@multitable @columnfractions .5 .5
+@headitem Filter
+ @tab Result
+@item
+Tagged music preceded by @code{\keepWithTag #'@var{name}}
+ @tab Untagged music and music tagged with @var{name} is included;
+ music tagged with any other tag name is excluded.
+@item
+Tagged music preceded by @code{\removeWithTag #'@var{name}}
+@tab Untagged music and music tagged with any tag name other than
+ @var{name} is included; music tagged with @var{name} is
+ excluded.
+@item
+Tagged music not preceded by either @code{\keepWithTag} or
+@code{\removeWithTag}
+@tab All tagged and untagged music is included.
+@end multitable
+
+The arguments of the @code{\tag}, @code{\keepWithTag} and
+@code{\removeWithTag} commands should be a symbol
+(such as @code{#'score} or @code{#'part}), followed
+by a music expression.
+
+In the following example, we see two versions of a piece of music,
+one showing trills with the usual notation, and one with trills
+explicitly expanded:
+
+@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
+music = \relative g' {
+ g8. c32 d
+ \tag #'trills {d8.\trill }
+ \tag #'expand {\repeat unfold 3 {e32 d} }
+ c32 d
+ }
+
+\score {
+ \keepWithTag #'trills \music
+}
+\score {
+ \keepWithTag #'expand \music
+}
+@end lilypond
+
+@noindent
+Alternatively, it is sometimes easier to exclude sections of music:
+
+@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
+music = \relative g' {
+ g8. c32 d
+ \tag #'trills {d8.\trill }
+ \tag #'expand {\repeat unfold 3 {e32 d} }
+ c32 d
+ }
+
+\score {
+ \removeWithTag #'expand
+ \music
+}
+\score {
+ \removeWithTag #'trills
+ \music
+}
+@end lilypond
+
+Tagged filtering can be applied to articulations, texts, etc. by
+prepending
-The same can be applied to articulations, texts, etc.: they are
-made by prepending
@example
--\tag #@var{your-tag}
+-\tag #'@var{your-tag}
@end example
-to an articulation, for example,
+
+to an articulation. For example, this would define a note with a
+conditional fingering indication and a note with a conditional
+annotation:
+
@example
-c1-\tag #'part ^4
+c1-\tag #'finger ^4
+c1-\tag #'warn ^"Watch!"
@end example
-This defines a note with a conditional fingering indication.
+Multiple tags may be placed on expressions with multiple
+@code{\tag} entries:
-@cindex keepWithTag
-@cindex removeWithTag
-By applying the @code{\keepWithTag} and @code{\removeWithTag}
-commands, tagged expressions can be filtered. For example,
-@example
+@lilypond[quote,verbatim]
+music = \relative c'' {
+ \tag #'a \tag #'both { a a a a }
+ \tag #'b \tag #'both { b b b b }
+}
<<
- @var{the music}
- \keepWithTag #'score @var{the music}
- \keepWithTag #'part @var{the music}
+\keepWithTag #'a \music
+\keepWithTag #'b \music
+\keepWithTag #'both \music
>>
-@end example
-would yield
+@end lilypond
-@c FIXME: broken
-@c @lilypondfile[ragged-right,quote]{tag-filter.ly}
+Multiple @code{\removeWithTag} filters may be applied to a single
+music expression to remove several differently named tagged sections:
-The arguments of the @code{\tag} command should be a symbol
-(such as @code{#'score} or @code{#'part}), followed by a
-music expression. It is possible to put multiple tags on
-a piece of music with multiple @code{\tag} entries,
+@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
+music = \relative c'' {
+\tag #'A { a a a a }
+\tag #'B { b b b b }
+\tag #'C { c c c c }
+\tag #'D { d d d d }
+}
+{
+\removeWithTag #'B
+\removeWithTag #'C
+\music
+}
+@end lilypond
-@example
- \tag #'original-part \tag #'transposed-part @dots{}
-@end example
+Two or more @code{\keepWithTag} filters applied to a single music
+expression will cause @emph{all} tagged sections to be removed, as
+the first filter will remove all tagged sections except the one
+named, and the second filter will remove even that tagged section.
