Well, to summarize:

In less than an hour after posting a question / potential bug report, 
there is

- a quick & easy solution provided by an experienced fellow user,

- an explanation and some perspective from the main developer working on 
that part of the code.

Unbeatable. And on top of this, the excellent quality that LilyPond 
produces (which is often remarked upon by students & colleagues that see 
my worksheets containing lots of Lilypond music examples). It's simply 
wonderful to work with this program - thanks so much!
