Robin,
Thanks. Fair enough. I guessed and experimented and got the result
that I wanted. But I'm not quite sure how I managed it!
A problem I had with minimum-X-extent is that it's a pair, but the
description describes it as a distance, which I'd have thought was a
single number!
Hmm.

minimum-X-extent (pair of numbers)
Minimum size of an object in X dimension, measured in staff-space
units.

I see no mention of "distance", but "size" might often be thought of as
a singular value. In reality, extents are closer to "bounds" than
"size". While the docs are pretty clear about the value being a pair of
numbers, perhaps we should update the extent-related properties to use
"bounds" as opposed to "size".
