Thanks, this looks good but I couldn't get it to work in the general XML context (see below).

Yes, this is what I thought but couldn't get off the ground.
My main stumbling block now is the following:
If I try something like this (inside of "tell myData")
make new XML element with properties {name:"myTag", value:"Test"}
then I get the German version of
System Events received an error. The „at“ parameter for „make“ is missing.
And if I try
make new XML element with properties {name:"myTag", value:"Test"} at end of XML element "track" of XML element "xml"
I get an AppleEvent Error -10000.
(and the same with any other place I tried). So I don't know *where* to create the new XML element, what to use as "at" parameter.
This doesn't occur for property lists and stops me from progressing from Joshua's suggestion.
So, has anybody ideas what goes wrong, where I can create my new XML element?
Else I have to go back to Ed's suggestion:

I've grown old already…

And yes, that's correct.
All the best
