Thank you all for the useful input. I have tried both solutions presented
by everybody and they both work fine. The output it exactly the same with
both solutions. I find the solution with the tags more elegant though, so I
think I will be using that. Below are 3 short scores. The first and second
score use the two solutions. I commented out the padding tweak because it
doesn't look all right when included. The third score shows how it would
work when pieces are combined with the tag solution.
Cheers,
Arnold
