Help and support

Is it possible in overpass to define the search area as an area minus a subarea?

Specifically I’d like to write a query to search in Luzon while excluding matches in Metro Manila.

Something like this?

[out:xml][timeout:32];
area(3611144278)->.Luzon;
area(3600147488)->.MetroManila;
(
  nwr["tourism"="museum"](area.Luzon);
	-
  nwr["tourism"="museum"](area.MetroManila);
);
out;>;
out skel qt;
