Thanks a lot. That is way better than my solution. I’ll use this
and hope that I will not encounter any further problems during the rest of the solve.

Have a nice twist,
Klaus

I could not find a very short solution for it (relative to the required solve length) so I did trial and error until I chanced upon a solution without the problem. If you are interested, I have just created a save file with a 22 move solution (the best I can manage I think) which I will now attempt to upload to the site for you to find.

But at the moment I’m stuck with some constellation that I could solve, but which would take about 40 twists which would really worsen the result. So I’m looking for a shorter solution to the folling problem:
