Many thanks, that was indeed the problem. Nobody sing this hymn like the King's.

Well, it seems you had noticed it, and done it right, but then erroneously commented it out. That is understandable; there is a lot going on at that moment. To get an overview in this sort of situation, have the name-tweaks identify themselves (as done in the lower demo at bar 12). In our case we have more than 3 candidates, but there is no harm in overdoing it; i.e. \markuplist { "1" "2" "3" "4" "5" "6" "7" "8" } At bar 21 (see attached .png) - the top staff is choir treble showing descant and unisono - the men don't see their bass staff (due to R1*20) so read the unisono - to be able to have everything for the organ, you can temporarily initialise for all three remaining staff names: Piano, R and L - the png shows choir treble as 1, no 2, R/L as 3/4 and Piano as 5. So that case needs \markuplist { * * * * "Orgel" } - if you give the ChoirStaff an instrumentName, "Orgel" must move to 6. - the minimal case - no R/L naming - leaves "Orgel" as 3. For that we settle on \markuplist { * * \pad-x #2 "Orgel" } Listening to Kings next week. Cheers, Robin
