V,

I don't know what to say but thank you from the bottom of my heart. You
saved me and my code. I have a lot to learn from this. I thank you.  I would
like to ask few questions more. First, you say I included all violin 1 in
one variable. Why is this bad? I thought each part needs to usually get =
one variable. That seems normal ok? How can you create a variable for a 10
measure divisi, do you really mean that? In that piece, then I would have
variables: violinone, violinonediv1, violinonediv2, violinonediv3, for the
entire instrumentation? Wow that is a lot of variables :)) Or do you mean
violinone, violinonedivisis and that's it?

Second please, why do you need to  \remove Time_signature_engraver when you
create my divisi part? I don't see why that is needed for me. Thanks!!!!
