Erratic Scores... Lilypond 2.11.16 / 2.11.17 Windows

[Trent Johnston]

Hi Everyone,

I don't know if anyone else has similar problems but 2.11.16 and 2.11.17 
with the automatic staff stretching I'm getting strange results... most of 
my scores end up compiling with...

warning: Can't fit systems on page -- ignoring between-system-padding

my between-system-padding is set a small 1...

The full log is as follows:

Should Lilypond repeat:

As the above log seems to indicate?

The resulting score is a mess. Staff systems run into each other, the bottom 
staff disappears off the page. If I use \RemoveEmptyStaffContext lyrics 
float at the top of the next staff, while setting system-count there is no 
stretch.

I haven't seen any other reports on this so far so not sure if it's a bug or 
an unfinished feature(s).

Any help appreciated.
