I'm not a musician and I'm a young lilypond user. So I don't like come here and say that this part of the documentation is not clear even if I would specify that it is not clear *to me*. Report this type of things is difficult without hurt the persons that write the documentation work. And of course, I appreciate who made the effort to write it. Regarding the example in the documentation: here it is. test = { \tag #'here { \tag #'here <<c''>> } } { \pushToTag #'here c' \pushToTag #'here e' \pushToTag #'here g' \test \appendToTag #'here c' \appendToTag #'here e' \appendToTag #'here g' \test } I simply don't understand it. I don't understand it because: it is too long, there are too many things, I don't understand the example goal, and I don't understand the explication following the code. But I'm sure, this is very probably my specific problem. Of course, I could spend some hours on it and discover how \pushToTag works, but, well, you can't do this for any things like this to discover that you don't need this commands :) So this is why I avoided to complain about the documentation. P.S. Be patient with my english, I hope what I have written was clear.
