Hi Kieren, Your version did help me enormously. Thank you very much. The whole score is now what it should be. I usually work with separate voices to be collected in the score, but with the extra BC-line I could not get it right. I spent most of this day wondering what the hell the error messages told me.
Since I expect that more scores like this will be coming my way I have saved the skeleton as a template. Thanks again.
