Sure, you can only have one L: per stave

I don't have that error...

L: is always attached to the last line of the stave. If you play around with
the @+/- dislocation you can of course locate the LT: above the alto L: which
is wrong.

I do not have this error. By the way, I find all those slurs not only
disposable but very disturbing because the text is crowded enough.
Get rid of them by using {~ ... }~ .

First of all, I commented out all additions like \mymusic because I do not
have these files anyway. prepmxing, pmxing and texing occurred without any
error.
I do not understand what the [ ] do in bar 9 and got rid of them. Furthermore,
I left the ties but removed all slurs. If you change the vertical alignment
of the lyrics within the piece you get of course also a vertical step in
the print. The bar numbers clash with the lyrics of the soprano, redefine.
the placement of the accidentals in bar 21 T/B is not good: Place the sharp
to the left of the flat, a vertical adjustement is not good.
