It worked for me with the other file I sent (where I use italic lyrics for the 
cue voice).

Yes, that looks much better. 

However, while comparing the old and the new output, without ragged-bottom, 
the new output looks much worse:

http://www.fam.tuwien.ac.at/~reinhold/LilyPond/VerticalStretching/Eybler_OmnesDeSabaVenient_HV40_Instrument_SSolo.new.pdf

Both use the same input file.

- -) For some reason even the header is higher up with the new engine.
- -) With the new engine, the lyrics are too far away from the staff. It seems 
that 
\layout {
  \context {
    \Lyrics
    \override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(0.5 . 0.5)
  }
  \context {
    \Staff
    \override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-1. . 3)
  }
}
does not have any effect any more.

- -) The staves are really crammed together.

- -) The cue text (bar 35) seems to be differently aligned in 2.13.x than in 
2.12.1. That has probably nothing to do with the vertical layout engine, but 
still something that is noticable.

Cheers,
Reinhold
