[applying note→not]

This is true, they are not. In fact, I don't quite understand what
you mean by "applying" \global "to the music parts". All the Voices
are just Voices, aren't they?

Anyway, the repeat structure has to be in all the parts
as summarised by David K in

Which suggests that you haven't copied repeats into all the parts.
It works fine for me. The main snag is that any lyrics have to have
explicit durations specified if you want to be able to switch between
folded and unfolded. The short-cut methods like addlyrics just aren't
up to it because they can't handle rests/skips.

But what "doesn't work" for you exactly? (We need to be told before
we can start looking at a problem.)

Cheers,
David.
