Sure does.  Thanks.

How do I build an agenda for items scheduled for today (only for
today, optionally also the ones not scheduled for any day as well)
matching a certain tag?

I have tried various combinations with little success.

I am using tag inheritance, have the tag added to the list of
inherited tags and also have org-tags-match-list-sublevels set to t.
Any help will be gratefully appreciated.
