How do I select a bunch of records and remove one specific tag, without touching any others?
The Batch Change dialog can’t do it.
I could adjust one of the sample AppleScripts.
How about dragging to the tag in the sidebar, but while holding the option key?
If you have the records selected in a tag source, pressing the Delete key will unassign that tag (without moving the records to the trash).
Another way: create a smart folder whose action is to remove that tag, then drag the records onto the smart folder.

But what if I want to unassigned another tag from records in a tag source?
Specifically my records are tagged either “unsent” or something like “sentDec2011” and I need a way to make the transition (but I don’t send all unsent items at once!)
Could you select them and then use the Tags inspector or Tag Cloud ?

Of course. Thanks!
Maybe having used other parts of the program for years made it harder to see…
