I already thought that someting like that was the problem, thats the reason
I posted it on the devel rather that the user list. . So w.r.t this issue

The piece I am working on contains some odd 15 voices or so, so I would
prefer a solution fitting in the \layout section and more pieces coming up.

Is there someone who could make this work? If an example project is needed I
can send one privately.
