Valentin,
Your solution to insert articulations simultaneouse with the music is
brilliant and simple.
\new Voice << \music \articulations >>
Using tags is too complicated for my purposes. My intention is to turn
on/off all articulations of a certain type. I don't need the granularity
provided by \KeepWithTag
Thanks,
Greg
