Why do you use << >> around a single staff?  I don't know that it's giving
you any problems, but it's certainly not necessary.  And I find that
arbitrary simultaneous constructs sometimes cause spurious results.

I recommend that you only use << >> when you need to have two (or more)
things happen simultaneously; that is not the case in any of these \score
blocks.
