You have << { R1 | [...] \bar "!" } \new Staff \with { alignAboveContext="RH" } { \chimes } >> es'4\mp es'4. es'8 but the \chimes takes one measure more than the { R1 | [...] \bar "!" }. The duration of the << >> expression is the max of the two. Basically, << >> waits before *all* subexpressions are exhausted before yielding back control. You should simply move the line es'4\mp es'4. es'8 into the { R1 ... }. Best, Jean
