103 Braces in markup can now be selected by point size using the markup commands
104 @code{\left-brace} and @code{\right-brace}.
114 Intermediate .ps files which are created by LilyPond
115 during compilation are now deleted by default. To keep them,
116 add the following line to your input files:
118 #(ly:set-option 'delete-intermediate-files #f)

144 @lilypond[quote,relative=2]
149 Tuplet number formatting functions are now available to print other fractions
150 and to add notes to the number or fraction:
151 @lilypond[quote,relative=2]
152 \once \override TupletNumber #'text =
153 #(tuplet-number::non-default-tuplet-denominator-text 7)
154 \times 2/3 { c4. c4. c4. c4. }
156 \once \override TupletNumber #'text =
157 #(tuplet-number::non-default-tuplet-fraction-text 12 7)
158 \times 2/3 { c4. c4. c4. c4. }
159 \once \override TupletNumber #'text =
160 #(tuplet-number::append-note-wrapper
161 (tuplet-number::non-default-tuplet-fraction-text 12 7) "8")
162 \times 2/3 { c4. c4. c4. c4. }
164 \once \override TupletNumber #'text =
165 #(tuplet-number::append-note-wrapper tuplet-number::calc-denominator-text "4")
166 \times 2/3 { c8 c8 c8 c8 c8 c8 }
167 \once \override TupletNumber #'text =
168 #(tuplet-number::append-note-wrapper tuplet-number::calc-fraction-text "4")
169 \times 2/3 { c8 c8 c8 c8 c8 c8 }
171 \once \override TupletNumber #'text =
172 #(tuplet-number::fraction-with-notes "4." "8")
173 \times 2/3 { c4. c4. c4. c4. }
