My only request about tag names is that they are named in a uniform way,
for instance words separated by spaces, with the first letter of the
first word uppercase, and the rest downcase, with the exception of some
generic tags. Hence, I'd like to rename the following tags:

- generic tags; rename to:
"docs", "really cool", "really simple" (without underscore), "real
music", "workaround", "version-specific", and "correction
wanted" (without dash).

- add spaces and keep only first letter of first word uppercase:
SchemeLanguage -> Scheme language
SymbolsAndGlyphs
ConnectingNotes
AutomaticNotation
ContemporaryNotation

- make first letter uppercase? (I'm not sure about these, are they
generi tags?)
Stylesheet
Template

After GDP reorg, I also wonder how useful is SpecificNotation; it looks
like it contains a "heteroclite" set of 15 snippets.  May we deprecate
it?

Sebastiano has added me as a LSR editor, but I won't change/rename any
tags until you agree on the names.

You're certainly right; what about a box with a bunch of checkboxes box
with all tags? (see attached picture).

I have no experience in user interfaces, and I don't have time to
investigate, so I can't help coding here.

Don't you rather mean dropping spaces in tag names?  I definitely think
tag names with spaces like I proposed above are more legible.

Cheers,
John
