Look at the log for bookparts.log and page-spacing-markups.log,
for example:
-Fitting music on 1 page...
+Fitting music on 4 or 5 pages...
...
-Fitting music on 1 page...
+Fitting music on 3 or 4 pages...

This suggests that 2.13.29 has a problem with the page spacing
algorithm.  Something that fit onto 1 page (in .28) now requires 4
or 5 pages (in .29) !

I must admit that I never look at the logs, so it's great that
Neil found it.  But looking at the regtest comparisons isn't
either of our jobs; that's what you guys should be doing.  :)

As soon as you figure out what to add, I'll be happy to add it.

(no, this process isn't at all formalized -- but, as this bug
illustrates, it's very important!)
