It is probably not worth the effort to maintain scores through development 
versions.
Just stick to 2.12 for anything serious.

I see.  There tends to be a \cueDuring right after the multi-measure rests,
so inserting individual \noBreaks is awkward and distracting
 << \cueDuring "violin"#UP { s1\noBreak s\noBreak s s } R1*4 >>


The gloriously non-tiny example below, with relevant bits un-indented,
responds pretty well to 'minimum-length.
The commented-out alternative using forced \breaks is alright, but needs
a period of line-break-permission to get the measure-spacing back to normal.
