31 @unnumbered New features in 2.7 since 2.6
37 Proportional notation is supported. Notes can be spaced proportional
38 to their time-difference, by assigning a duration. to
39 @code{proportionalNotationDuration}. For example,
41 @lilypond[verbatim,relative=2,fragment,raggedright]
43 \set Score.proportionalNotationDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1 16)
44 \new Staff { c8[ c c c c c] c4 c2 r2 }
45 \new Staff { c2 \times 2/3 { c8 c c } c4 c1 }
49 This feature was sponsored by Trevor Baca.
52 LilyPond will space note according to their durations, disregarding
53 symbol sizes (e.g. accidentals) if @code{uniform-stretching} of the
54 @code{SpacingSpanner} grob is set,
57 @lilypond[verbatim,relative=2,fragment]
59 \override Score.SpacingSpanner #'uniform-stretching = ##t
60 \new Staff { c16[ c c c c c c c c c16] }
62 \times 6/7 { c16 c c cis c c c }

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

83 Arrow heads were added to the Feta font.
88 filled, to the right: \hspace #2.0 \fontsize #6 \arrow-head #0 #1 ##t
89 open, down: \hspace #2.0 \fontsize #6 \arrow-head #1 #-1 ##f
94 These glyphs have been sponsored by Trevor Baca.
98 Nested tuplets are automatically positioned,
100 @lilypond[fragment,raggedright,verbatim,relative=2]
101 \set tupletNumberFormatFunction = #fraction-tuplet-formatter
104 \times 3/5 { a a a a a }
108 This feature was sponsored by Trevor Baca.
111 Music expressions can be displayed, in LilyPond notation, using the
112 new @code{\displayLilyMusic} function. For instance:
114 \displayLilyMusic \transpose c a, { c d e f }
122 The current bar number may be checked with @code{\barNumberCheck}, eg.
129 will print a warning if it doesn't happen in measure 22.
132 If @code{showLastLength} is set, only the last few measures of a piece
133 are rendered, which speeds up correcting scores. For example, setting
136 showLastLength = R1*5
141 will render only the last five measures (assuming 4/4 time signature)
145 Melismata can be specified simply in the lyrics now, eg.
147 @lilypond[relative=1,verbatim,fragment]

158 Suggested accidentals (for notating musica ficta) may be switched on
159 with @code{suggestAccidentals}
161 @lilypond[verbatim,fragment,relative=2]
162 \set suggestAccidentals = ##t
166 This feature was sponsored by Nancho Alvarez.
169 The setting @code{whichBar} and time-bookkeeping is now split into a
170 @code{Default_bar_line_engraver} and @code{Timing_translator}
174 Explicit pitches may be added to trills,
176 @lilypond[relative,verbatim,fragment]
177 \pitchedTrill c4\startTrillSpan fis f\stopTrillSpan
180 This feature was sponsored by D. Josiah Boothby and Jamie Bullock
183 Markup now supports formatting of text paragraphs, using
184 @code{\wordwrap} and @code{\justify}.
