Re: Shortest duration is *not* printed when running 'lilypond --verbose'

[Xavier Scheuer]

Sorry to come again with that.

Should I request to add an issue to the tracker stating that

  'lilypond --verbose' does not print common shortest duration
  (and should, as it supposedly did before, because it is what is
  explained in NR 4.5.1 Horizontal spacing overview)

?

Cheers,
Xavier
