Some of them at least.  I did write an answer.

That likely doesn't do what you think it does.  If you remove the tagged
expression, what remains will be

Mk = \relative g' {
   \quoteDuring "Q" { s1*4*3/4 }
   \quoteDuring "Q" { s4*3 }
}

instead of

Mk = \relative g' {
   \quoteDuring "Q" { s1*4*3/4 }
   s4*3
   \quoteDuring "Q" { s4*3 }
}

So what gets removed is the _end_ of the quoted expression rather than
the middle.

The tag here is ineffective since it is inside of the quote.
