You sent this to -devel; did you intend -user ?
Basically, just try compiling your scores (and any problematic scores
reported by users) with the new spacing code. If/when something
breaks, then make a \layout { \context{}} thing and change some
overrides until it stops breaking. Whenever you add an override,
check that it doesn't break any of your other scores. You'll want to
do this as a separate \include file, of course.
I have a couple such overrides already from trying out the first alpha. In the
next two evenings, I intend to try 2.13.37 on a few piano pieces, and one
full-size orchestral score plus parts, and something string-quartet size from
mutopia. I can post here any spacing overrides that seem wise, with tiny
cropped images showing why I think they are wise, by Friday.
However, I have no familiarity with how vocal music is supposed to look, and I
tend to avoid tweaks myself. Graham's request seems quite easy for a few
people to cooperate on, if we test the union of the overrides that we
collectively need.

Graham, this might be a little premature. [...]
This is one patch (for NR 4.4.1), which I'm drastically
revising based on the comments there:
http://codereview.appspot.com/2642043/.
[...] the spacing docs are known to be inaccurate and/or
incomplete, and I'm working on it!
Okay, no complaining about 4.4.1 as printed in the pdf's for 2.13.37, and we
can read the newer version of spacing.itely through your link.
