In which universe do you consider this to be a "tiny example" ??  Is
the \time necessary?  Are the *19*3/8 necessray?  Is the weird spacing
of "S C H E..." necessary?  etc?

No.  I have a Tiny example at the end of this email.


BUG SQUAD: you should have rejected James' report immediately, forcing
James to create an actual Tiny example, which would then be much
easier for developers to discuss (and less easy to say "meh, yeah,
whatever"), and thereby getting a good example into the issue tracker
much sooner.  By "rejecting a report", you're not telling the reporter
to bugger off; you're actually making the whole process run smoother.

Please add as release-Critical immediately.


\version "2.13.53"
\header {
  % removing the title changes the spacing of the c1 c c c  line below!
  title = "title"
}

\relative c'' {
  \compressFullBarRests
  R1*4
  \break
  % this will either be spaced on two systems (including the title)
  % or one system (without the title)
  c1 c c c
  \break
  R1*4
}
