Re[2]: How do I use \tag?

[Trevor]

Maybe slightly simpler:

\version "2.19.82"

bla = -\markup { Bla }

melody = \relative c'' {
  c4 d e f ^\bla
  c4 d e f ^\tag #'a \bla % (1)
  c4 d e f ^\tag #'a \bla % (2)
  c4 d e f ^\tag #'a \bla % (3)
}

\keepWithTag #'a \melody

\removeWithTag #'a \melody

Hopefully this works in 2.18 too.
