O.k. after reducing things here is the problem that causes the snafu. The independent files to be included all happen to have the same structure where the score is defined and the voices called to a variable. as in the following.
altoVoice = \relative c' { a } \score { \new Staff \with { instrumentName = "Treble" } { \altoVoice } so the result is as far as I can tell that after the first file which we can call alto1.ly is included the second one, identical in structure, lets call alto2.ly has called for the same input here when the program looks around for the variable altoVoice it decides there is an unrecognized string. Is there anyway around this bar renaming all these variables into unique indentifiers? That would be possible but definitely a time consuming drag.
