31 @unnumbered New features in 2.7 since 2.6
37 Tuplets can be made to reach the next non-tuplet note by setting the
38 @code{tupletFullLength} property,
42 \remove Forbid_line_break_engraver
46 \set tupletFullLength = ##t
47 \times 2/3 { c8[ c c] }
54 When @code{strict-note-spacing} is set, note are spaced without regard
55 for clefs, bar lines and grace notes. For example,
57 @lilypond[fragment,verbatim,relative=2]
58 \override Score.SpacingSpanner #'strict-note-spacing = ##t
59 \new Staff { c8[ c \clef alto c \grace { c16[ c] } c8 c c] c32[ c32] }
62 This feature was sponsored by Trevor Baca.
65 Beams support the @code{break-overshoot} property, for example
67 @lilypond[relative=2,fragment,verbatim]
68 \set allowBeamBreak = ##t
69 \override Beam #'break-overshoot = #'(1.0 . 2.0)
73 This feature was sponsored by Trevor Baca.
76 Proportional notation is supported. Notes can be spaced proportional
77 to their time-difference, by assigning a duration. to
78 @code{proportionalNotationDuration}. For example,
80 @lilypond[verbatim,relative=2,fragment,raggedright]
82 \set Score.proportionalNotationDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1 16)
83 \new Staff { c8[ c c c c c] c4 c2 r2 }
84 \new Staff { c2 \times 2/3 { c8 c c } c4 c1 }
88 This feature was sponsored by Trevor Baca.
91 LilyPond will space note according to their durations, disregarding
92 symbol sizes (e.g. accidentals) if @code{uniform-stretching} of the
93 @code{SpacingSpanner} grob is set,
96 @lilypond[verbatim,relative=2,fragment]
98 \override Score.SpacingSpanner #'uniform-stretching = ##t
99 \new Staff { c16[ c c c c c c c c c16] }
101 \times 6/7 { c16 c c cis c c c }
107 This feature was sponsored by Trevor Baca.
110 Tuplet brackets get arrows when they are broken across a line.
112 @lilypond[fragment,raggedright,verbatim,relative=2]
114 c c c \bar "empty" \break c c
118 This feature was sponsored by Trevor Baca.
122 Arrow heads were added to the Feta font.
127 filled, to the right: \hspace #2.0 \fontsize #6 \arrow-head #0 #1 ##t
128 open, down: \hspace #2.0 \fontsize #6 \arrow-head #1 #-1 ##f
133 These glyphs have been sponsored by Trevor Baca.
137 Nested tuplets are automatically positioned,
139 @lilypond[fragment,raggedright,verbatim,relative=2]
140 \set tupletNumberFormatFunction = #fraction-tuplet-formatter
143 \times 3/5 { a a a a a }
147 This feature was sponsored by Trevor Baca.
150 Music expressions can be displayed, in LilyPond notation, using the
151 new @code{\displayLilyMusic} function. For instance:
153 \displayLilyMusic \transpose c a, { c d e f }
161 The current bar number may be checked with @code{\barNumberCheck}, eg.
168 will print a warning if it doesn't happen in measure 22.
171 If @code{showLastLength} is set, only the last few measures of a piece
172 are rendered, which speeds up correcting scores. For example, setting
175 showLastLength = R1*5
180 will render only the last five measures (assuming 4/4 time signature)
184 Melismata can be specified simply in the lyrics now, eg.
186 @lilypond[relative=1,verbatim,fragment]
194 This feature was sponsored by Nancho Alvarez
197 Suggested accidentals (for notating musica ficta) may be switched on
198 with @code{suggestAccidentals}
200 @lilypond[verbatim,fragment,relative=2]
201 \set suggestAccidentals = ##t
205 This feature was sponsored by Nancho Alvarez.
208 The setting @code{whichBar} and time-bookkeeping is now split into a
209 @code{Default_bar_line_engraver} and @code{Timing_translator}
213 Explicit pitches may be added to trills,
215 @lilypond[relative,verbatim,fragment]
216 \pitchedTrill c4\startTrillSpan fis f\stopTrillSpan
219 This feature was sponsored by D. Josiah Boothby and Jamie Bullock
222 Markup now supports formatting of text paragraphs, using
223 @code{\wordwrap} and @code{\justify}.
225 This feature was sponsored by Sven Axelsson.
