o 85+13 is 98, not 97.
o As provided, your fluteMusic starts at bar 1, not bar 86.
o s1 has the length of a semibreve ("whole note"), not a full bar 
("measure") - so after your time signature change to 3/4, each s1 
lasts longer than a bar. So s1*13 needs to be s1*7 | s2.*6 to account 
for the change to 3/4.

(Er, I suggested privately that your problem might be a change to the 
time signature, but you denied you had one!)
