O.K., I pared it down to a minimum (AFAIK). I eliminated the middle  
voice.

\version "2.11.23"
\include "english.ly"
\paper{ ragged-right=##t }
<< { e''4. e''4 e''8 fs'' g''}\\{ e2 ~ e8 r4.}>>

The resulting error is as given above in the initial post.

My concern is with the vertical spacing between systems, which  
changed when going from Lilypond 2.10.20 to 2.11.23. The piece I have  
set prints on two pages; v 2.10.20 distributed the systems evenly  
between the two pages; v2.11.23 reduces the number of systems on the  
first page by one and crowds them on the second page.

I am clueless as to how to respond to the error, and a search of the  
manual for "minimize" and other variations of the error message did  
not provide enlightenment.

Thanks!
