Hi Rainer, There is one more requirement for tangling with comments, that is the presence of a :comments header argument. If this argument is not set for a code block then that code block *will not* be tangled with comments regardless of the value of `org-babel-tangle-w-comments'.
You can set this variable to default to true for R code blocks with the following (add-to-list 'org-babel-default-header-args:R '(:comments . "yes")) Hope this helps. I think that moving forward it might make sense to remove the org-babel-tangle-w-comments variable, as it's confusing to have two points of control for comments during tangling. Also, it looks like I need to add the :comments header argument to the babel documentation. Thanks for helping to sort some of these issues out!
