31 @unnumbered New features in 2.7 since 2.6
37 When @code{strict-note-spacing} is set, note are spaced without regard
38 for clefs and bar lines. For example,
40 @lilypond[fragment,verbatim,relative=2]
41 \override Score.SpacingSpanner #'strict-note-spacing = ##t
42 \new Staff { c8[ c \clef alto c c c c] c32 c32 }
46 This feature was sponsored by Trevor Baca.
49 Beams support the @code{break-overshoot} property, for example
51 @lilypond[relative=2,fragment,verbatim]
52 \set allowBeamBreak = ##t
53 \override Beam #'break-overshoot = #'(1.0 . 2.0)
57 This feature was sponsored by Trevor Baca.
60 Proportional notation is supported. Notes can be spaced proportional
61 to their time-difference, by assigning a duration. to
62 @code{proportionalNotationDuration}. For example,
64 @lilypond[verbatim,relative=2,fragment,raggedright]
66 \set Score.proportionalNotationDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1 16)
67 \new Staff { c8[ c c c c c] c4 c2 r2 }
68 \new Staff { c2 \times 2/3 { c8 c c } c4 c1 }
72 This feature was sponsored by Trevor Baca.
75 LilyPond will space note according to their durations, disregarding
76 symbol sizes (e.g. accidentals) if @code{uniform-stretching} of the
77 @code{SpacingSpanner} grob is set,
80 @lilypond[verbatim,relative=2,fragment]
82 \override Score.SpacingSpanner #'uniform-stretching = ##t
83 \new Staff { c16[ c c c c c c c c c16] }
85 \times 6/7 { c16 c c cis c c c }

94 Tuplet brackets get arrows when they are broken across a line.
96 @lilypond[fragment,raggedright,verbatim,relative=2]
98 c c c \bar "empty" \break c c

106 Arrow heads were added to the Feta font.
111 filled, to the right: \hspace #2.0 \fontsize #6 \arrow-head #0 #1 ##t
112 open, down: \hspace #2.0 \fontsize #6 \arrow-head #1 #-1 ##f
117 These glyphs have been sponsored by Trevor Baca.
121 Nested tuplets are automatically positioned,
123 @lilypond[fragment,raggedright,verbatim,relative=2]
124 \set tupletNumberFormatFunction = #fraction-tuplet-formatter
127 \times 3/5 { a a a a a }
131 This feature was sponsored by Trevor Baca.
134 Music expressions can be displayed, in LilyPond notation, using the
135 new @code{\displayLilyMusic} function. For instance:
137 \displayLilyMusic \transpose c a, { c d e f }
145 The current bar number may be checked with @code{\barNumberCheck}, eg.
152 will print a warning if it doesn't happen in measure 22.
155 If @code{showLastLength} is set, only the last few measures of a piece
156 are rendered, which speeds up correcting scores. For example, setting
159 showLastLength = R1*5
164 will render only the last five measures (assuming 4/4 time signature)
168 Melismata can be specified simply in the lyrics now, eg.
170 @lilypond[relative=1,verbatim,fragment]
178 This feature was sponsored by Nancho Alvarez
181 Suggested accidentals (for notating musica ficta) may be switched on
182 with @code{suggestAccidentals}
184 @lilypond[verbatim,fragment,relative=2]
185 \set suggestAccidentals = ##t
189 This feature was sponsored by Nancho Alvarez.
192 The setting @code{whichBar} and time-bookkeeping is now split into a
193 @code{Default_bar_line_engraver} and @code{Timing_translator}
197 Explicit pitches may be added to trills,
199 @lilypond[relative,verbatim,fragment]
200 \pitchedTrill c4\startTrillSpan fis f\stopTrillSpan
203 This feature was sponsored by D. Josiah Boothby and Jamie Bullock
206 Markup now supports formatting of text paragraphs, using
207 @code{\wordwrap} and @code{\justify}.
209 This feature was sponsored by Sven Axelsson.
