Hi everyone, I just discovered that just like with \override, in 2.17 you no longer need to use #' with \tag. This is a really nice improvement! It makes tags feel much more lightweight to use, and everything is easier on the eyes. Dotted lists work too! Instead of: \removeWithTag #'aa

If this is something you're composing, general practice would suggest you move it to the beginning or end of the bar. That said, you could make time signatures and bar lines temporarily invisible and represent that internally as two bars of 2/2. \version "2.16.2" global = { \key c \major \num
