Is it possible, and how?, to perform a replace-regexp from a certain point, e.g. the current one, or from a certain word/expression, up to the next occurrence of a certain other word/expression...? In my case, with MusiXTeX documents, the starting point should be the TeX command `\startpiece' and the final one `\Endpiece'. So I could replace strings/expressions within a single musical piece without going out of it. Thanks for any help, Rodolfo
