2411 This release has another massive cleanup of the backend. Each grob
2412 property may also be a "grob closure". This means that it is possible

2423 properties that have Procedure values are thought to be procedures
2424 that compute said property, i.e.
2427 \override Beam #'direction = #(lambda (grob)

2439 extender lines for figured bass. Merging of Figured bass lines has

2818 to build LilyPond either without the Kpathsea TeX library or with the

2928 LilyPond 2.5.6 was released. This is a "technology preview"
2929 release, which means that it has all kinds of nifty
2930 features, but is not actually usable for producing nicely
2931 printed scores. For this reason, an RPM of this release was
2932 not produced. The PS backend is now completely switched over
2933 to Pango/FontConfig: for -f ps, LilyPond only accepts UTF8
2934 input, all text fonts are loaded through Pango, the TeX
2935 backend now offloads all metric computations to LaTeX, the
2936 SVG and GNOME backends are broken, most probably.

2957 LilyPond 2.5.4 is out. This release has some major
2958 brainsurgery in the font handling. As of now, LilyPond loads
2959 the music fonts in OpenType font format using FreeType.
2960 This has made a lot of things simpler, including font
2961 handling for the GNOME backend and SVG backend.

2970 LilyPond 2.5.3 was released. A new script, `\espressivo' has
2971 been added, for a combination of crescendo and decrescendo
2972 on a single note. In markups, expressions stacked with
2973 `\column', `\center-align', etc, are not grouped with `< ...
2974 >' anymore, but with `@{ ... @}'. LilyPond will now avoid line
2975 breaks that cause long texts to stick outside of the page

2987 LilyPond 2.5.2 was released. It has several goodies,
2988 including solfa-notation (shaped noteheads), and an easier
2989 mechanism for customizing title, footer and header
2990 layout. Don't forget to rebuild the fonts, as they have been
2991 changed to accomodate the solfa-notation.

3000 LilyPond 2.5.1 is out. This is an experimental release,
3001 containing some proof-of-concept code for our graphical
3002 layout editor. You can add and remove things from the file,
3003 and the tweaks will still work, as long as the tweaked notes
3004 remain in the place (ie. start at the same time-wise and be
3005 part of the same context). Further attractions are: the
3006 gnome backend now also draws beams and slurs, updates to the
3007 SVG backend, support for the lmodern font set for TeX,

3017 The LilyPond development is OPEN once again! The first
3018 release of the 2.5 series has the following new Features:
3019 Positioning of slurs can now be adjusted manually, Grace
3020 notes are correctly quoted and formatted when using cue
3021 notes, Cue notes can now be created with
3024 \cueDuring #VOICE-NAME #DIRECTION { MUSIC }
3027 Stemlets (short stems over beamed rests) have been added.
3028 In addition, Jan hacked together some highly experimental
3029 code where you can use the mouse to drag and drop objects in
3030 the -f gnome backend. These tweaks can be saved and are
3031 applied to the PS and TeX output as well.

3138 LilyPond 2.3.20 was released. It fixes the biggest problems
3139 with encoding and the TeX backend. As a result, latin1

3169 LilyPond 2.3.18 was released. It has further improvements in
3170 the slur formatting, and a small syntax change: the mode
3171 changing commands (`\chords', `\lyrics', etc.) have been
3172 renamed to `\chordmode', `\lyricmode', etc. The command

3183 @subsubheading September 11, 2004
3184 LilyPond 2.3.16 was released. It fixes a couple of annoying
3185 bugs, and has an important addition in the slur-formatter. Slurs that
3186 pass note heads much closer than the average distance get an extra
3187 penalty. This fixes a lot of difficult slurring cases. See
3188 input/regression/new-slur for some examples.
3189 Please consider this release as a 3.0 pre-release so try to find as
3190 many bugs as possible. A report including a small .ly example
3191 can be filed at bug-lilypond@@gnu.org
3192 In this case, a bug is defined as something that the current 2.3 does
3193 worse than the latest 2.2 release. We want to be sure that no output
3194 will get uglier by upgrading to 3.0, so that once 3.0 is out, nothing
3195 will hold users back in switching.

3204 LilyPond 2.3.15 was released. It fixes for some gaffes with
3205 the new vertical spacing engine, has lots of documentation
3206 updates, and has support for landscape output in the direct
3207 postscript output. Also, the types of events quoted with
3208 `\quote' can now be tuned with `quotedEventTypes'. By default,
3209 only notes and rests end up in quotes.

3218 LilyPond 2.3.14 was released and has exciting features!
3219 LilyPond will try to keep staves at the same distances across a
3220 page, but it will stretch distances to prevent collisions; key
3221 signature cancellations are now printed before the bar line;
3222 different voices that all use "\quote" can now refer to each

3231 @subsubheading August 29, 2004
3232 LilyPond now has a Documentation
3233 Editor, Graham Percival. From now on, he will oversee that
3234 useful information flows from the mailiing list into the
3235 manual. Also, if there are unclear sections in the manual,
3236 let him know via one of the mailing lists.
3237 As a start of his career, he worked to transform the
3238 "Templates" section of the website into a readable and comprehensive
3239 chapter of the user manual.
3240 A lot of cheers for Graham!
3245 @subsubheading August 29, 2004
3246 LilyPond 2.3.13 was released. The new slur code was
3247 improved, scripts can be made to avoid slurs, by setting
3248 inside-slur to #f. It is no longer necessary to instantiate
3249 "up" and "down" staves separately when using
3250 \autochange. Jurgen Reuter refreshed the logic around
3251 mensural flags, so they are adjusted for staff lines once

3271 LilyPond 2.3.12 is out. This release has a lot of fixes and

3292 @subsubheading August 1, 2004
3293 LilyPond 2.3.10 is out. This release has a major clean-up of the
3294 input/test/ directory. Many examples have been moved to the regression
3295 test or manual, and the superfluous or outdated ones have been
3296 removed. The directory has gone from 146 examples to 72 examples. That
3297 means that we're halfway cleaning it out. Incidentally, the manual
3298 has gone from 200 to 220 pages. New features:
3301 Running trills now have their own spanner and event. They are
3302 started and stopped with \startTrillSpan and \stopTrillSpan
3304 There is a new markup command `\postscript' that takes a string
3305 that is dumped as verbatim PostScript

3315 @subsubheading July 30, 2004
3316 LilyPond 2.3.9 is out. The important change is that lilypond
3317 now once-again directly runs the binary. The old wrapper script has
3318 been renamed to lilypond-latex.py, and should only be used for legacy
3319 projects. The recommended route is either using lilypond directly
3320 (with \book, you can have multiple movements within one document), or
3321 to run lilypond-book with a LaTeX wrapper file.
3322 This release also fixes a bunch of small errors. I now consider
3323 LilyPond feature complete for a 3.0 release. Next on the TODO list is
3324 updating the manual, and after that's done we can release 3.0. The
3325 projected date for this to happen is in about a month.

3334 LilyPond 2.3.8 fixes a few minor bugs in the new slur code,
3335 and has rewritten support for ledger lines. Now, in tight
3336 situations, ledger lines will be shortened so they stay

3346 LilyPond 2.3.7 was released and has new exciting features!
3347 The slur formatting has been rewritten. The new slur code
3348 works similar to the Beam formatter: scores are assigned for
3349 all esthetic components of a slur. A large number of
3350 combinations for begin and end points is then tried out.
3351 Slurs will now also take into account collisions with staff
3352 lines, scripts (like staccato and accent) and accidentals. In
3353 the LilyPond emacs mode, the `|' will now display the current
3354 beat within the measure.
