Girard, and all: Steve Fiskum messaged me privately and offered to look at the file. The sections of the piece that were not fixed by Girard's tip turned out to have errors on my part - real whole rests or “Break a Multimeasure Rest” in a staff that had been hidden. I will share this tip of his:
"If you ever want to check your “Break a Multimeasure Rest” make a blank dummy instrument staff on a duplicate file and create the blank part to see where MM’s break." Thanks, all! All better now!
