Yet you did a great job, for it was indeed the thing I was looking for! Thanks for that!
I am fairly new to Lilypond, using it for a few months yet, and trying to get the things together by typing over pieces of music I have collected in the past...
It is pretty hard to determine how much is needed to get a real idea of the problem, and I thought the problem was solely in the \score, and in an attempt not to spam the list too much with long messages, I tried to cut out as much as to give an idea of the problem... with that I cut away the header and version fields as well... obviously a lack of coffee, as at least the version is indeed very important... and I know that... please forgive me for doing a too thorough job of cutting the piece, I will try to better my life on that :-)
Thanks for the answer... Maybe this is something for the online knowledge base of Lilypond... if people agree with me, I could try to write a small piece that shows what happens... I am struggling to get the lyrics in the music as they are supposed, but that should be a minor problem... I think I have to add a Voice for that in the new staves. But already I am becoming a very happy man... This cool program can really do almost everything! amazing! it has changed my life ;-)

It's always very difficult to understand and find problems in an uncomplete section of code. You have much better chances to get relevant answers if you make a small but complete toy example that illustrates what you tried and want to do (also, every so often, you find the solution yourself during the preparation of the small example). Also, always tell what LilyPond version you use, since LilyPond keeps evolving from version to version.
Did you see the example called staff-halfway.ly in the "Regression Test" document at www.lilypond.org? It shows the easiest way to create additional staves in the middle of a piece. However, since LilyPond always orders the staves vertically in the order they first appear in the \score{...} section, this will probably not give the result you want. The best solution is probably to use the RemoveEmptyStaffContext feature and create all the staves already from the top of the score. Something like:
\score{ \context ChoirStaff << \context Staff = separateSopranos{ s1*20} \context Staff = women << \context Voice = sop {\sopm \change Staff=separateSopranos \amensop} \context Voice = alt {\altm \amenalt} >> ... >> \layout{\context {\RemoveEmptyStaffContext}} }
The s1*20 should be modified to keep the top Staff context alive until the voice moves up.

I have this piece of music I'm working on, and for the greater part the music of the Sopranos and Altos are combined on a Staff with the usage of VoiceOne and VoiceTwo. The same goes up for the Tenors and Basses.
Almost at the end of the piece I wanted to "explode" the combined voices into separate staves, and thought I would solve it this way in the Score (see \score part below). However, Lilypond starts to cross fingers, wants to go back in time and another bunch of errors... Obviously, I am doing something utterly stupid... but what is it?
Thanks in advance! - Michiel
