"Tiny" is not meant in terms out music output, but rather in terms of LilyPond 
code input. A tiny example should only contain those lilypond commands / notes 
that are absolutely necessary to show the problem.

BTW, trying to strip down a problem to such a tiny example often helps you 
finding the error (if no lilypond bug is involved, but you messed up with the 
code somewhere)... I had that quite a lot, so creating a minimal example is 
not really wasted time, but already helps you track down the problem (and 
helps us developers, because we don't have to do the same thing again).

Cheers,
Reinhold
