You would significantly increase your chance to get help from the list if you'd try to reduce it to tiny examples only showing _one_ problem. We don't do proof-reading of more or less finished scores here. Speaking only for me, I look into such large files 1-2 times a year, that one wass the first. ;) At least add barnumbers as comments in your file.
