Thanks for pointing out \tag. I've already read up, and experimented with it. It doesn't solve the problem, because it requires that I anticipate every possible correction when entering the data from the MS. The only way to get useful coverage is to tag every note with a different tag, which is too complicated and invites other sorts of errors.
