Hi Trevor,

> How does it *force* the mixture of content and presentation?

==> \tag is, by definition, used to control output in different  
editions (presentations) of the same music (content) — i.e., it mixes  
content and presentation.
<== AFAICT, \tag is only more effective than the alternative  
workarounds when it is applied inside the content.

Hence, IMO, using \tag instead of more effective alternatives happens  
if and only if you are mixing content and presentation.

Cheers,
Kieren.
