Since the new vertical layout engine completely changes the way the layout 
works, in particular, many paper variables no longer work and 
VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent also no longer works, we really need 
proper convert-ly rules to upgrade existing scores using the "old" vertical 
layout settings to the new system.

Also, the default for non-stretching scores looks terrible, the staves are 
always spaced only the absolute minimum allowed.
And with multiple scores in a larger file, the distance between one score, the 
next piece title and the following score is way too small (the staves of the 
two scores are spaced like they belonged to the same score, and the title is 
squeezed in between that small space!).

Unfortunately, I don't have the time now to investigate better defaults 
myself, but with these defaults, the scores simply look terrible.


Cheers,
Reinhold
