Re: 2.7.17: minimumVerticalExtent

[Mats Bengtsson]

If you use the absolutely latest development ("unstable") version of
LilyPond, you should be prepared for changes that are possibly not
always well documented. However, in this case, convert-ly should
convert your code to something that works in 2.7.17 (actually, as
far as I can see from convert-ly, this particular change happened
between 2.7.13 and 1.7.14.
