5 (I'd rather have the below in the CG. -gp)
8 * avoid "HERE" as name for links, use descriptive link names like
9 @uref{,Download LilyPond 2.5.16}
11 * avoid putting links in running text. They make text harder to read.
12 Preferably: (@uref{,...}, etc. )
14 * use a descriptive title in @subheading
16 * writing date in "Month DD, YYYY" format is required for
17 generating the RSS feed; in case the message (and thus the date)
18 is not in English, you must write a well-formed date in English
19 like above in a comment between the closing brace of @emph and the
21 (see "Japanese translation" below for an example).
23 * Split news items in small chunks. It's OK to have more than 1 item
26 * don't duplicate entries from news-front.itexi

4446 @subheading April 25, 2005 - 2.5.21 released!
4447 2.5.21 has more bugfixes. It also has support for "grid
4448 lines", bar like vertical line, which are aligned with the notes. The

4457 @subheading April 18, 2005
4458 LilyPond 2.5.20 has lots of bugfixes, in particular, MIDI files of
4459 multi-movement pieces don't overwrite each other. Version 2.5.20 also
4460 supports putting arrows on lines, such as glissandi.
4461 More details are in the
4463 file, or go straight to @ref{Old downloads}.
4468 @subheading April 15, 2005
4469 LilyPond 2.5.19 was released. The command `\epsfile' allows inclusion
4470 of EPS graphics into markup texts and the music function
4471 `\musicDisplay' will display a music expression as indented

4513 @subheading March 7, 2005
4514 LilyPond 2.5.14 is out. It is now possible (and in fact, encouraged),
4515 to build LilyPond either without the Kpathsea TeX library or with the
4516 Kpathsea dynamically loaded, but only for the -btex backend. This
4517 means that packages do not have to depend on TeX anymore. With this,
4518 the Windows download size will go down significantly. Take a look at

4562 LilyPond 2.5.12 is out. The big news is that this release supports
4563 TrueType fonts. This means that it is now possible to use @strong{all}
4564 fonts available via FontConfig. Also, arpeggios may be written out

4592 bugs in the direct PS output for piano braces.

4599 LilyPond 2.5.8 is out. This
4600 release has many internal code cleanups. In addition,
4601 accuracy of error reporting has been improved.

4611 LilyPond 2.5.7 is out. This release has a completely usable
4612 Pango integration for the PS backend. The default font is
4613 Century Schoolbook from the PS font suite. It also has
4614 small updates to the tablature settings by Erlend Aasland,
4615 assorted manual updates by Graham, and an overhaul of the
4616 font code by Werner.

4624 @subheading January 02, 2005
4625 LilyPond 2.5.6 was released. This is a "technology preview"
4626 release, which means that it has all kinds of nifty
4627 features, but is not actually usable for producing nicely
4628 printed scores. For this reason, an RPM of this release was
4629 not produced. The PS backend is now completely switched over
4630 to Pango/FontConfig: for -f ps, LilyPond only accepts UTF8
4631 input, all text fonts are loaded through Pango, the TeX
4632 backend now offloads all metric computations to LaTeX, the
4633 SVG and GNOME backends are broken, most probably.

4642 LilyPond 2.5.5 is out. It is the first one to link against
4643 FontConfig and Pango, although it is only available in the "-f

4653 @subheading December 20, 2004
4654 LilyPond 2.5.4 is out. This release has some major
4655 brainsurgery in the font handling. As of now, LilyPond loads
4656 the music fonts in OpenType font format using FreeType.
4657 This has made a lot of things simpler, including font
4658 handling for the GNOME backend and SVG backend.

4667 LilyPond 2.5.3 was released. A new script, `\espressivo' has
4668 been added, for a combination of crescendo and decrescendo
4669 on a single note. In markups, expressions stacked with
4670 `\column', `\center-align', etc, are not grouped with `< ...
4671 >' anymore, but with `@{ ... @}'. LilyPond will now avoid line
4672 breaks that cause long texts to stick outside of the page

4684 LilyPond 2.5.2 was released. It has several goodies,
4685 including solfa-notation (shaped noteheads), and an easier
4686 mechanism for customizing title, footer and header
4687 layout. Don't forget to rebuild the fonts, as they have been

4697 LilyPond 2.5.1 is out. This is an experimental release,
4698 containing some proof-of-concept code for our graphical
4699 layout editor. You can add and remove things from the file,
4700 and the tweaks will still work, as long as the tweaked notes
4701 remain in the place (ie. start at the same time-wise and be
4702 part of the same context). Further attractions are: the
4703 gnome backend now also draws beams and slurs, updates to the
4704 SVG backend, support for the lmodern font set for TeX,

4714 The LilyPond development is OPEN once again! The first

4716 Positioning of slurs can now be adjusted manually, Grace

4718 notes, Cue notes can now be created with
4721 \cueDuring #VOICE-NAME #DIRECTION { MUSIC }
4724 Stemlets (short stems over beamed rests) have been added.
4725 In addition, Jan hacked together some highly experimental
4726 code where you can use the mouse to drag and drop objects in
4727 the -f gnome backend. These tweaks can be saved and are
4728 applied to the PS and TeX output as well.

4835 LilyPond 2.3.20 was released. It fixes the biggest problems
4836 with encoding and the TeX backend. As a result, latin1

4866 LilyPond 2.3.18 was released. It has further improvements in
4867 the slur formatting, and a small syntax change: the mode
4868 changing commands (`\chords', `\lyrics', etc.) have been
4869 renamed to `\chordmode', `\lyricmode', etc. The command

4880 @subheading September 11, 2004
4881 LilyPond 2.3.16 was released. It fixes a couple of annoying
4882 bugs, and has an important addition in the slur-formatter. Slurs that
4883 pass note heads much closer than the average distance get an extra
4884 penalty. This fixes a lot of difficult slurring cases. See
4885 input/regression/new-slur for some examples.
4886 Please consider this release as a 3.0 pre-release so try to find as
4887 many bugs as possible. A report including a small .ly example
4888 can be filed at bug-lilypond@@gnu.org
4889 In this case, a bug is defined as something that the current 2.3 does
4890 worse than the latest 2.2 release. We want to be sure that no output
4891 will get uglier by upgrading to 3.0, so that once 3.0 is out, nothing
4892 will hold users back in switching.

4901 LilyPond 2.3.15 was released. It fixes for some gaffes with
4902 the new vertical spacing engine, has lots of documentation
4903 updates, and has support for landscape output in the direct
4904 postscript output. Also, the types of events quoted with
4905 `\quote' can now be tuned with `quotedEventTypes'. By default,
4906 only notes and rests end up in quotes.

4915 LilyPond 2.3.14 was released and has exciting features!
4916 LilyPond will try to keep staves at the same distances across a
4917 page, but it will stretch distances to prevent collisions; key
4918 signature cancellations are now printed before the bar line;
4919 different voices that all use "\quote" can now refer to each

4929 LilyPond now has a Documentation
4930 Editor, Graham Percival. From now on, he will oversee that
4931 useful information flows from the mailiing list into the
4932 manual. Also, if there are unclear sections in the manual,
4933 let him know via one of the mailing lists.
4934 As a start of his career, he worked to transform the
4935 "Templates" section of the website into a readable and comprehensive
4936 chapter of the user manual.
4937 A lot of cheers for Graham!

4943 LilyPond 2.3.13 was released. The new slur code was
4944 improved, scripts can be made to avoid slurs, by setting
4945 inside-slur to #f. It is no longer necessary to instantiate
4946 "up" and "down" staves separately when using
4947 \autochange. Jurgen Reuter refreshed the logic around
4948 mensural flags, so they are adjusted for staff lines once

4968 LilyPond 2.3.12 is out. This release has a lot of fixes and
4969 a new feature: there is now support for putting two slurs on
4970 chords, both above and below. This is switched on with the
4971 `doubleSlurs' property.

4980 LilyPond 2.3.11 is out. This release basically is 2.3.10 with a few
4981 annoying bugs fixed.

4989 @subheading August 1, 2004
4990 LilyPond 2.3.10 is out. This release has a major clean-up of the
4991 input/test/ directory. Many examples have been moved to the regression
4992 test or manual, and the superfluous or outdated ones have been
4993 removed. The directory has gone from 146 examples to 72 examples. That
4994 means that we're halfway cleaning it out. Incidentally, the manual
4995 has gone from 200 to 220 pages. New features:
4998 Running trills now have their own spanner and event. They are
4999 started and stopped with \startTrillSpan and \stopTrillSpan
5001 There is a new markup command `\postscript' that takes a string
5002 that is dumped as verbatim PostScript

5012 @subheading July 30, 2004
5013 LilyPond 2.3.9 is out. The important change is that lilypond
5014 now once-again directly runs the binary. The old wrapper script has
5015 been renamed to lilypond-latex.py, and should only be used for legacy
5016 projects. The recommended route is either using lilypond directly
5017 (with \book, you can have multiple movements within one document), or
5018 to run lilypond-book with a LaTeX wrapper file.
5019 This release also fixes a bunch of small errors. I now consider
5020 LilyPond feature complete for a 3.0 release. Next on the TODO list is
5021 updating the manual, and after that's done we can release 3.0. The
5022 projected date for this to happen is in about a month.

5030 @subheading July 23, 2004
5031 LilyPond 2.3.8 fixes a few minor bugs in the new slur code,
5032 and has rewritten support for ledger lines. Now, in tight
5033 situations, ledger lines will be shortened so they stay
5034 separate. This also required a cleanup of the Ambitus

5042 @subheading July 19, 2004
5043 LilyPond 2.3.7 was released and has new exciting features!
5044 The slur formatting has been rewritten. The new slur code
5045 works similar to the Beam formatter: scores are assigned for
5046 all esthetic components of a slur. A large number of
5047 combinations for begin and end points is then tried out.
5048 Slurs will now also take into account collisions with staff
5049 lines, scripts (like staccato and accent) and accidentals. In
5050 the LilyPond emacs mode, the `|' will now display the current
5051 beat within the measure.
