49 * add new items at the top
51 * only show verbatim input for syntax/input changes
53 * try to be as brief possible in those cases
55 * don't try to provide real-world examples, they often get too big,
56 which scares away people.
58 * Write complete sentences.
60 * only show user-visible changes.
65 The most common articulations are now reflected in MIDI output.
66 Accent and marcato make notes louder; staccato, staccatissimo and
67 portato make them shorter. Breath marks shorten the previous
70 This behavior is customizable through the @code{midiLength} and
71 @code{midiExtraVelocity} properties on @code{ArticulationEvent}.
72 See @file{script-init.ly} for examples.
75 The PostScript functionality of stroke adjustment is no longer
76 applied automatically but left to the discretion of the PostScript
77 device (by default, Ghostscript uses it for resolutions up to
78 150dpi when generating raster images). When it is enabled, a more
79 complex drawing algorithm designed to benefit from stroke
80 adjustment is employed mostly for stems and bar lines.
82 Stroke adjustment can be forced by specifying the command line
83 option @samp{-dstrokeadjust} to LilyPond. When generating
84 @code{PDF} files, this will usually result in markedly better
85 looking @code{PDF} previews but significantly larger file size.
86 Print quality at high resolutions will be unaffected.
