BTW, I tweaked the underlay where the rhythm differs in the soprano part. I think the alignment makes it clearer for the other parts. (It's at /wob die/un-ter/lädt im/-ja, nun/.)
I see that you omit the \autoBeamOff and [ ]. Instead you use the underscore in the lyrics to write this detail. As I initially wrote, I am new to choir music notation, and I am still learning. I also realized that the \global part generated by Frescobaldi can be used completely different to the method I usually used. Further the \lyricsto are not required if the \addLyrics is added before the next voice to system, although \lyricsto is used in most cases at https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/techniques-specific-to-lyrics.
I will try your techniques in the next scores to produce better readable code. Thank you.
I also use your layout without the volta repeat at the performance yesterday. It's indeed easier to use. The only problem is, that the new (more readable) edition is one additional edition of the song. It's a topic of choir organization to avoid too many different editions.
