31 @unnumbered New features in 2.7 since 2.6
37 Nested tuplets are automatically positioned,
39 @lilypond[fragment,raggedright,verbatim,relative=2]
40 \set tupletNumberFormatFunction = #fraction-tuplet-formatter
43 \times 3/5 { a a a a a }
47 This feature was sponsored by Trevor Baca.
50 Music expressions can be displayed, in LilyPond notation, using the
51 new @code{\displayLilyMusic} function. For instance:
53 \displayLilyMusic \transpose c a, { c d e f }
61 The current bar number may be checked with @code{\barNumberCheck}, eg.
68 will print a warning if it doesn't happen in measure 22.
71 If @code{showLastLength} is set, only the last few measures of a piece
72 are rendered, which speeds up correcting scores. For example, setting
80 will render only the last five measures (assuming 4/4 time signature)
84 Melismata can be specified simply in the lyrics now, eg.
