Hi Valentin,

Thanks for answering!

The first solution I had already tried (in version 2.19.82), looking for a way to subdivide the sixteen voices in S-A-T-B segments. It gave, and still gives the error

document.ly:256:3: fout: Schijnbare expressie in \score ("Schijnbare expressie" being Dutch for "apparent epression")

Only the first system is rendered.

The second solution leads to the same result/error message.

While I admit that the Grandstaff-option leads to undesirable spanned barlines, in version 2.19.82 it performed the wanted grouping, without the extra brace seen in 2.23...

cheers, Jogchum
