39 @unnumbered New features in 2.11 since 2.10
42 This document is also available in @uref{NEWS.pdf,PDF}. It's part of
43 the @uref{../,LilyPond Documentation}
55 * only show verbatim input for syntax/input changes
57 * try to be as brief possible in those cases
59 * don't try to provide real-world examples, they often get too big,
60 which scares away people.
62 * Write complete sentences.
64 * only show user-visible changes.
69 Improved testing procedure now catch changes in CPU and memory
70 performance, page layout, MIDI results and warnings. This helps to
71 reduce the number of regression errors during development, resulting
72 in more stable releases.
74 See @uref{INSTALL.html#testing} for more information.
76 Nested properties, such as @code{details} in @code{Slur}, can be
77 reverted as well. The syntax for this is
80 \revert Slur #'(details closeness-factor)
84 All line spanners are more flexible now in the configuration of their
85 end points. This includes glissando, voice followers, text crescendos
86 and other text spanners.

109 Notes or rests, such as a typical end note, that fill an entire
110 measure are preceded by some more space.

122 @item All @code{\score}s in a lilypond-book fragment are now inserted
123 into the document. Also, toplevel markups don't result in an entire
126 @item Alterations (such as a sharp and flat) may now be arbitrary
127 fractions. This allows some forms of microtonal music. For example,
128 Turkish makam music uses 1/9th tone alterations.
130 @lilypondfile{makam.ly}
134 @item Tie directions may be set with @code{^~} and @code{_~}
136 @item Tablature now supports harmonics and slides,

147 @item Horizontal spacing now follows object outlines more
148 accurately. This allows tighter horizontal spacing.
150 @lilypond[fragment,ragged-right]
158 @item Objects that belong outside of the staff are
159 now positioned automatically to avoid collisions.

165 b^"this goes above the previous markup"
166 a8_"this goes below the dynamic"
170 @item Staves are spaced vertically using a skyline algorithm. This helps to avoid
171 uneven vertical spacing.
