8 * avoid "HERE" as name for links, use descriptive link names like
9 @uref{,Download LilyPond 2.5.16}
11 * avoid putting links in running text. They make text harder to read.
12 Preferably: (@uref{,...}, etc. )
14 * use a descriptive title in @subsubheading
16 * writing date in "Month DD, YYYY" format is required for
17 generating the RSS feed; in case the message (and thus the date)
18 is not in English, you must write a well-formed date in English
19 like above in a comment between the closing brace of @emph and the
21 (see "Japanese translation" below for an example).
23 * Split news items in small chunks. It's OK to have more than 1 item
26 * don't duplicate entries from news-front.itexi

4318 music, by doing @code{\stopStaff \startStaff}. This can be used to
4319 produce Ossia staves. (@ref{Changes},
4320 @ref{Old downloads})
4325 @subsubheading 2.5.22 released - @emph{May 3, 2005}
4327 release. The most visible improvement is in the PDF : this release
4328 will produce smaller PDF files, with symbols that look better on
4330 (@ref{Old downloads})
4335 @subsubheading April 25, 2005 - 2.5.21 released!
4336 2.5.21 has more bugfixes. It also has support for "grid
4337 lines", bar like vertical line, which are aligned with the notes. The
4338 auto-beam engraver was rewritten, so it also works with irregular time
4339 signatures like 5/8.

4347 LilyPond 2.5.20 has lots of bugfixes, in particular, MIDI files of
4348 multi-movement pieces don't overwrite each other. Version 2.5.20 also
4349 supports putting arrows on lines, such as glissandi.
4350 More details are in the
4352 file, or go straight to @ref{Old downloads}.
4357 @subsubheading April 15, 2005
4358 LilyPond 2.5.19 was released. The command `\epsfile' allows inclusion
4359 of EPS graphics into markup texts and the music function
4360 `\musicDisplay' will display a music expression as indented
4361 Scheme code. Take a look at
4363 file and @ref{Old downloads}.
4368 @subsubheading April 6, 2005
4369 2.5.18 is a bugfix release. It has many small cleanups in the
4370 web-based documentation, and many small cleanups all over the
4371 place. @ref{Old downloads}
4376 @subsubheading March 31, 2005
4377 2.5.17 is out. This release features many small bugfixes. In addition,

4386 errors. A Fedora Core 3 binary is also available.
4392 @subsubheading March 14, 2005
4393 LilyPond 2.5.15 is out. This release has clean ups in the SVG output,
4394 and now uses the LilyPond number font for time signatures. It is
4395 now possible to add text before and after music. This can be used to
4396 add verses after a music. Take a look at the @ref{Changes}
4397 file and @ref{Old downloads}!
4402 @subsubheading March 7, 2005
4403 LilyPond 2.5.14 is out. It is now possible (and in fact, encouraged),
4404 to build LilyPond either without the Kpathsea TeX library or with the
4405 Kpathsea dynamically loaded, but only for the -btex backend. This
4406 means that packages do not have to depend on TeX anymore. With this,
4407 the Windows download size will go down significantly. Take a look at
4409 file and download @ref{Old downloads}!

4415 LilyPond 2.4.5 is out. This release backports the tieWaitForNote
4416 feature and has support for tetex-3.0.

4450 @subsubheading February 21, 2005
4451 LilyPond 2.5.12 is out. The big news is that this release supports
4452 TrueType fonts. This means that it is now possible to use @strong{all}
4453 fonts available via FontConfig. Also, arpeggios may be written out

4500 LilyPond 2.5.7 is out. This release has a completely usable
4501 Pango integration for the PS backend. The default font is
4502 Century Schoolbook from the PS font suite. It also has

4504 assorted manual updates by Graham, and an overhaul of the
4505 font code by Werner.

4513 @subsubheading January 02, 2005
4514 LilyPond 2.5.6 was released. This is a "technology preview"
4515 release, which means that it has all kinds of nifty
4516 features, but is not actually usable for producing nicely
4517 printed scores. For this reason, an RPM of this release was
4518 not produced. The PS backend is now completely switched over
4519 to Pango/FontConfig: for -f ps, LilyPond only accepts UTF8
4520 input, all text fonts are loaded through Pango, the TeX
4521 backend now offloads all metric computations to LaTeX, the
4522 SVG and GNOME backends are broken, most probably.

4531 LilyPond 2.5.5 is out. It is the first one to link against
4532 FontConfig and Pango, although it is only available in the "-f

4542 @subsubheading December 20, 2004
4543 LilyPond 2.5.4 is out. This release has some major
4544 brainsurgery in the font handling. As of now, LilyPond loads
4545 the music fonts in OpenType font format using FreeType.
4546 This has made a lot of things simpler, including font
4547 handling for the GNOME backend and SVG backend.

4556 LilyPond 2.5.3 was released. A new script, `\espressivo' has
4557 been added, for a combination of crescendo and decrescendo
4558 on a single note. In markups, expressions stacked with
4559 `\column', `\center-align', etc, are not grouped with `< ...
4560 >' anymore, but with `@{ ... @}'. LilyPond will now avoid line
4561 breaks that cause long texts to stick outside of the page

4573 LilyPond 2.5.2 was released. It has several goodies,
4574 including solfa-notation (shaped noteheads), and an easier
4575 mechanism for customizing title, footer and header
4576 layout. Don't forget to rebuild the fonts, as they have been
4577 changed to accomodate the solfa-notation.

4585 @subsubheading November 20, 2004
4586 LilyPond 2.5.1 is out. This is an experimental release,
4587 containing some proof-of-concept code for our graphical
4588 layout editor. You can add and remove things from the file,
4589 and the tweaks will still work, as long as the tweaked notes
4590 remain in the place (ie. start at the same time-wise and be
4591 part of the same context). Further attractions are: the
4592 gnome backend now also draws beams and slurs, updates to the
4593 SVG backend, support for the lmodern font set for TeX,

4603 The LilyPond development is OPEN once again! The first
4604 release of the 2.5 series has the following new Features:
4605 Positioning of slurs can now be adjusted manually, Grace
4606 notes are correctly quoted and formatted when using cue
4607 notes, Cue notes can now be created with
4610 \cueDuring #VOICE-NAME #DIRECTION { MUSIC }
4613 Stemlets (short stems over beamed rests) have been added.
4614 In addition, Jan hacked together some highly experimental
4615 code where you can use the mouse to drag and drop objects in
4616 the -f gnome backend. These tweaks can be saved and are
4617 applied to the PS and TeX output as well.

4724 LilyPond 2.3.20 was released. It fixes the biggest problems
4725 with encoding and the TeX backend. As a result, latin1
4726 characters (like the german SS) show up correctly in the

4755 LilyPond 2.3.18 was released. It has further improvements in
4756 the slur formatting, and a small syntax change: the mode
4757 changing commands (`\chords', `\lyrics', etc.) have been
4758 renamed to `\chordmode', `\lyricmode', etc. The command

4769 @subsubheading September 11, 2004
4770 LilyPond 2.3.16 was released. It fixes a couple of annoying
4771 bugs, and has an important addition in the slur-formatter. Slurs that
4772 pass note heads much closer than the average distance get an extra
4773 penalty. This fixes a lot of difficult slurring cases. See
4774 input/regression/new-slur for some examples.
4775 Please consider this release as a 3.0 pre-release so try to find as
4776 many bugs as possible. A report including a small .ly example
4777 can be filed at bug-lilypond@@gnu.org
4778 In this case, a bug is defined as something that the current 2.3 does
4779 worse than the latest 2.2 release. We want to be sure that no output
4780 will get uglier by upgrading to 3.0, so that once 3.0 is out, nothing
4781 will hold users back in switching.

4790 LilyPond 2.3.15 was released. It fixes for some gaffes with
4791 the new vertical spacing engine, has lots of documentation
4792 updates, and has support for landscape output in the direct
4793 postscript output. Also, the types of events quoted with
4794 `\quote' can now be tuned with `quotedEventTypes'. By default,
4795 only notes and rests end up in quotes.

4804 LilyPond 2.3.14 was released and has exciting features!
4805 LilyPond will try to keep staves at the same distances across a
4806 page, but it will stretch distances to prevent collisions; key
4807 signature cancellations are now printed before the bar line;
4808 different voices that all use "\quote" can now refer to each

4817 @subsubheading August 29, 2004
4818 LilyPond now has a Documentation
4819 Editor, Graham Percival. From now on, he will oversee that
4820 useful information flows from the mailiing list into the
4821 manual. Also, if there are unclear sections in the manual,
4822 let him know via one of the mailing lists.
4823 As a start of his career, he worked to transform the
4824 "Templates" section of the website into a readable and comprehensive
4825 chapter of the user manual.
4826 A lot of cheers for Graham!
4831 @subsubheading August 29, 2004
4832 LilyPond 2.3.13 was released. The new slur code was
4833 improved, scripts can be made to avoid slurs, by setting
4834 inside-slur to #f. It is no longer necessary to instantiate
4835 "up" and "down" staves separately when using
4836 \autochange. Jurgen Reuter refreshed the logic around
4837 mensural flags, so they are adjusted for staff lines once

4879 LilyPond 2.3.10 is out. This release has a major clean-up of the
4880 input/test/ directory. Many examples have been moved to the regression
4881 test or manual, and the superfluous or outdated ones have been
4882 removed. The directory has gone from 146 examples to 72 examples. That
4883 means that we're halfway cleaning it out. Incidentally, the manual
4884 has gone from 200 to 220 pages. New features:
4887 Running trills now have their own spanner and event. They are
4888 started and stopped with \startTrillSpan and \stopTrillSpan

4901 @subsubheading July 30, 2004
4902 LilyPond 2.3.9 is out. The important change is that lilypond
4903 now once-again directly runs the binary. The old wrapper script has
4904 been renamed to lilypond-latex.py, and should only be used for legacy
4905 projects. The recommended route is either using lilypond directly
4906 (with \book, you can have multiple movements within one document), or
4907 to run lilypond-book with a LaTeX wrapper file.
4908 This release also fixes a bunch of small errors. I now consider
4909 LilyPond feature complete for a 3.0 release. Next on the TODO list is
4910 updating the manual, and after that's done we can release 3.0. The
4911 projected date for this to happen is in about a month.

4921 and has rewritten support for ledger lines. Now, in tight
4922 situations, ledger lines will be shortened so they stay
4923 separate. This also required a cleanup of the Ambitus

4932 LilyPond 2.3.7 was released and has new exciting features!
4933 The slur formatting has been rewritten. The new slur code
4934 works similar to the Beam formatter: scores are assigned for
4935 all esthetic components of a slur. A large number of
4936 combinations for begin and end points is then tried out.
4937 Slurs will now also take into account collisions with staff
4938 lines, scripts (like staccato and accent) and accidentals. In
4939 the LilyPond emacs mode, the `|' will now display the current
4940 beat within the measure.
