Your own sent pdf shows they are not stacked vertically.
(second line, measures 9 ff)

\alternative {
  { R2*2 }
  { \once \override Score.VoltaBracket.shorten-pair = #'(1 . 1.4) R2*2 }
}

in voiceTramboneII.ily

Btw, partTromboneI-T.ly doesn't compile because of missing voiceTromboneI.ily

And please, this is _not_ a tiny example!
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.
