Hi,

Pardon me for pointing out an English mistake, but it's an amusing one:

It's "quoted", not "qwoted" :-)  I suspect that you were influenced by
the recent post
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2022-09/msg00237.html

It's not important strictly speaking for \addQuote and \quoteDuring,
but I prefer avoiding the name "quote", because it's also the name of
one of Scheme's most fundamental builtins."kwote" is an intentional
misspelling for "quote".

Random fun facts:  I didn't invent it. In Lisp/Scheme, there is a tradition
of calling "kwote" a cousin of "quote" that is a function. It can be defined
as

(define (kwote x)
  `',x)

or

(define (kwote x)
  (list 'quote x))

I've heard "kwote" pronounced as "kay-wote" to distinguish it from
"quote".
