???  *You* told me in a previous mail to use the minimumVerticalExtent
property to solve my problem!  Anyway, I replaced

  \set Staff.minimumVerticalExtent = #'(-10 . 10)

with

  \override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-10 . 10)

in minimumVerticalExtent.ly and I get

   warning: Can't find property type-check for `minimum-Y-Extent'
            (backend-type?).  Perhaps you made a typing error?
   warning: Doing assignment anyway.

In the output, now there is no minimum vertical extent at all in any
lines.

This looks like another bug, or am I doing something wrong?  I really
need a fix for this, or my full score looks awfully bad.
