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

Xavier, your posting is useless.  It does not give _any_ information
about what input you are using, and what output you expect, and the
headers don't actually reference an article where this would be
described.

Instead of including wagonloads of _unrelevant_ discussion, how about
quoting something describing the actual problem?

Thanks
