You have
<<
{ R1 | [...] \bar "!" }
\new Staff \with { alignAboveContext="RH" } { \chimes }
>>
es'4\mp es'4. es'8
but the \chimes takes one measure more than the { R1 | [...] \bar "!" }.
The duration of the << >> expression is the max of the two. Basically,
<< >> waits before *all* subexpressions are exhausted before yielding
back control.
You should simply move the line es'4\mp es'4. es'8 into the { R1 ... }.
Best,
Jean
