I want to convert the sheet music of a stringorchestra (Muse score Bach Brandenburg concerto no 3 1st movement BWV1048) to sheet music for piano, so I can play it on piano. I was able to get the separate parts (violins, violas, violoncelli and contra-bass). I want to put the violin and viola parts in a separate stream.Part for the right hand and an other separate stream.Part with the violoncello and contra-bass parts for the left hand. Although the separate stream.Parts for all instruments are wellformed, but when I try to create to stream.Parts for the left and right hand, the stream.Parts get not well-formed after de insert method.
Can anyone tell me why this happens?
Is there an other way to create a Score with to stream.Parts for the left and right hand then I did with following python3 script?

print ("voiceCount: ", str(voiceCount))
s = m.stream.Score()
rh = m.stream.Part()
lh = m.stream.Part()
#help(rh)
# Violins
violin1 = parts[0]
violin2 = parts[1]
print ("stream.Part violin1: wellformed " + str(violin1.isWellFormedNotation()) + " type: "+str(type(violin1)))
violin3 = parts[2]
# Violas
viola1 = parts[3]
viola2 = parts[4]
viola3 = parts[5]
# The Violoncelli
violoncello1 = parts[6]
violoncello2 = parts[7]
violoncello3 = parts[8]
# The Contrabass
contrabass1 = parts[9]
# Create right hand
rh.insert(0,violin1)
print("rh.insert: wellformed "+str(rh.isWellFormedNotation()))
**# Why is the stream rh notWellFormed after the insert ?**
rh.append([violin2,violin3, viola1, viola2, viola3])
print("rh.append: wellformed "+str(rh.isWellFormedNotation()))
print ("Why not wellformed?")
#rh.append(violin3)
#rh.append(viola1)
#rh.append(viola2)
#rh.append(viola3)
# Create left hand
lh.insert(0,violoncello1)
lh.append(violoncello2)
lh.append(violoncello3)
lh.append(contrabass1)
#lh.show()
s.insert(0,rh)
s.insert(0,lh)
# See: http://web.mit.edu/music21/doc/moduleReference/moduleLayout.html#staffgroup
staffGroup1 = m.layout.StaffGroup([rh, lh], name='Piano', abbreviation='Pno.', symbol='brace')
s.insert(0, staffGroup1)
#s.show()
When I add after the line contrabass1 = parts[9] the following lines:
viola1.measure(1).clef = m.clef.TrebleClef()
viola2.measure(1).clef = m.clef.TrebleClef()
viola3.measure(1).clef = m.clef.TrebleClef()
contrabass1.measure(1).clef = m.clef.BassClef()
then I can change the clefs. Now my remaining question is, how can I append the parts for the left and right hand?
