The following snippet:

\version "2.19.15"

staffSize = #(define-music-function (parser location new-size) (number?)
#{
  \set fontSize = #new-size
  \override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #(magstep new-size)
  \override StaffSymbol #'thickness   = #(magstep new-size)
#})

    Ab = \relative c' { f4 g a b  }

    \score {
        \new Staff  \with { \staffSize #2  { \Ab }
        \layout {       }
    }

produces at LP v2.19.15:



but at LP v2.19.16 produces:



Besides being wrong (see, e.g., "Behind Bars" by Elaine Gould, p.13), this 
causes many scores to require an additional page.

Applying convert-ly to the above snippet changes only the \version number.

I tried all values for new-size between -8 and +8; the only ones that failed 
were -4 and 2.

(The staffSize music-function was kindly contributed by Eluze in 2013 on this 
list to overcome limitations of layout-set-staff-size.)
