9 @uref{,Download LilyPond 2.5.16}
11 * avoid putting links in running text. They make text harder to read.

14 * use a descriptive title in @subsubheading
16 * writing date in "Month DD, YYYY" format is required for

2962 used in the new and improved lilypond-book script.

2970 bugs in the direct PS output for piano braces.

2977 LilyPond 2.5.8 is out. This
2978 release has many internal code cleanups. In addition,

2989 LilyPond 2.5.7 is out. This release has a completely usable
2990 Pango integration for the PS backend. The default font is
2991 Century Schoolbook from the PS font suite. It also has
2992 small updates to the tablature settings by Erlend Aasland,
2993 assorted manual updates by Graham, and an overhaul of the
2994 font code by Werner.

3002 @subsubheading January 02, 2005
3003 LilyPond 2.5.6 was released. This is a "technology preview"
3004 release, which means that it has all kinds of nifty
3005 features, but is not actually usable for producing nicely
3006 printed scores. For this reason, an RPM of this release was
3007 not produced. The PS backend is now completely switched over
3008 to Pango/FontConfig: for -f ps, LilyPond only accepts UTF8
3009 input, all text fonts are loaded through Pango, the TeX
3010 backend now offloads all metric computations to LaTeX, the
3011 SVG and GNOME backends are broken, most probably.

3020 LilyPond 2.5.5 is out. It is the first one to link against
3021 FontConfig and Pango, although it is only available in the "-f

3031 @subsubheading December 20, 2004
3032 LilyPond 2.5.4 is out. This release has some major
3033 brainsurgery in the font handling. As of now, LilyPond loads
3034 the music fonts in OpenType font format using FreeType.
3035 This has made a lot of things simpler, including font
3036 handling for the GNOME backend and SVG backend.

3044 @subsubheading December 3, 2004
3045 LilyPond 2.5.3 was released. A new script, `\espressivo' has
3046 been added, for a combination of crescendo and decrescendo
3047 on a single note. In markups, expressions stacked with
3048 `\column', `\center-align', etc, are not grouped with `< ...
3049 >' anymore, but with `@{ ... @}'. LilyPond will now avoid line
3050 breaks that cause long texts to stick outside of the page

3062 LilyPond 2.5.2 was released. It has several goodies,
3063 including solfa-notation (shaped noteheads), and an easier
3064 mechanism for customizing title, footer and header
3065 layout. Don't forget to rebuild the fonts, as they have been
3066 changed to accomodate the solfa-notation.

3074 @subsubheading November 20, 2004
3075 LilyPond 2.5.1 is out. This is an experimental release,
3076 containing some proof-of-concept code for our graphical
3077 layout editor. You can add and remove things from the file,
3078 and the tweaks will still work, as long as the tweaked notes
3079 remain in the place (ie. start at the same time-wise and be
3080 part of the same context). Further attractions are: the
3081 gnome backend now also draws beams and slurs, updates to the
3082 SVG backend, support for the lmodern font set for TeX,

3091 @subsubheading November 12, 2004
3092 The LilyPond development is OPEN once again! The first
3093 release of the 2.5 series has the following new Features:
3094 Positioning of slurs can now be adjusted manually, Grace
3095 notes are correctly quoted and formatted when using cue
3096 notes, Cue notes can now be created with
3099 \cueDuring #VOICE-NAME #DIRECTION { MUSIC }
3102 Stemlets (short stems over beamed rests) have been added.
3103 In addition, Jan hacked together some highly experimental
3104 code where you can use the mouse to drag and drop objects in
3105 the -f gnome backend. These tweaks can be saved and are
3106 applied to the PS and TeX output as well.

3213 LilyPond 2.3.20 was released. It fixes the biggest problems
3214 with encoding and the TeX backend. As a result, latin1
3215 characters (like the german SS) show up correctly in the

3244 LilyPond 2.3.18 was released. It has further improvements in
3245 the slur formatting, and a small syntax change: the mode
3246 changing commands (`\chords', `\lyrics', etc.) have been
3247 renamed to `\chordmode', `\lyricmode', etc. The command

3258 @subsubheading September 11, 2004
3259 LilyPond 2.3.16 was released. It fixes a couple of annoying
3260 bugs, and has an important addition in the slur-formatter. Slurs that
3261 pass note heads much closer than the average distance get an extra
3262 penalty. This fixes a lot of difficult slurring cases. See
3263 input/regression/new-slur for some examples.
3264 Please consider this release as a 3.0 pre-release so try to find as
3265 many bugs as possible. A report including a small .ly example
3266 can be filed at bug-lilypond@@gnu.org
3267 In this case, a bug is defined as something that the current 2.3 does
3268 worse than the latest 2.2 release. We want to be sure that no output
3269 will get uglier by upgrading to 3.0, so that once 3.0 is out, nothing
3270 will hold users back in switching.

3279 LilyPond 2.3.15 was released. It fixes for some gaffes with
3280 the new vertical spacing engine, has lots of documentation
3281 updates, and has support for landscape output in the direct
3282 postscript output. Also, the types of events quoted with
3283 `\quote' can now be tuned with `quotedEventTypes'. By default,
3284 only notes and rests end up in quotes.

3293 LilyPond 2.3.14 was released and has exciting features!
3294 LilyPond will try to keep staves at the same distances across a
3295 page, but it will stretch distances to prevent collisions; key
3296 signature cancellations are now printed before the bar line;
3297 different voices that all use "\quote" can now refer to each

3306 @subsubheading August 29, 2004
3307 LilyPond now has a Documentation
3308 Editor, Graham Percival. From now on, he will oversee that
3309 useful information flows from the mailiing list into the
3310 manual. Also, if there are unclear sections in the manual,
3311 let him know via one of the mailing lists.
3312 As a start of his career, he worked to transform the
3313 "Templates" section of the website into a readable and comprehensive
3314 chapter of the user manual.
3315 A lot of cheers for Graham!
3320 @subsubheading August 29, 2004
3321 LilyPond 2.3.13 was released. The new slur code was
3322 improved, scripts can be made to avoid slurs, by setting
3323 inside-slur to #f. It is no longer necessary to instantiate
3324 "up" and "down" staves separately when using
3325 \autochange. Jurgen Reuter refreshed the logic around
3326 mensural flags, so they are adjusted for staff lines once

3346 LilyPond 2.3.12 is out. This release has a lot of fixes and

3367 @subsubheading August 1, 2004
3368 LilyPond 2.3.10 is out. This release has a major clean-up of the
3369 input/test/ directory. Many examples have been moved to the regression
3370 test or manual, and the superfluous or outdated ones have been
3371 removed. The directory has gone from 146 examples to 72 examples. That
3372 means that we're halfway cleaning it out. Incidentally, the manual
3373 has gone from 200 to 220 pages. New features:
3376 Running trills now have their own spanner and event. They are
3377 started and stopped with \startTrillSpan and \stopTrillSpan

3390 @subsubheading July 30, 2004
3391 LilyPond 2.3.9 is out. The important change is that lilypond
3392 now once-again directly runs the binary. The old wrapper script has
3393 been renamed to lilypond-latex.py, and should only be used for legacy
3394 projects. The recommended route is either using lilypond directly
3395 (with \book, you can have multiple movements within one document), or
3396 to run lilypond-book with a LaTeX wrapper file.
3397 This release also fixes a bunch of small errors. I now consider
3398 LilyPond feature complete for a 3.0 release. Next on the TODO list is
3399 updating the manual, and after that's done we can release 3.0. The
3400 projected date for this to happen is in about a month.

3409 LilyPond 2.3.8 fixes a few minor bugs in the new slur code,
3410 and has rewritten support for ledger lines. Now, in tight
3411 situations, ledger lines will be shortened so they stay

3421 LilyPond 2.3.7 was released and has new exciting features!
3422 The slur formatting has been rewritten. The new slur code
3423 works similar to the Beam formatter: scores are assigned for
3424 all esthetic components of a slur. A large number of
3425 combinations for begin and end points is then tried out.
3426 Slurs will now also take into account collisions with staff
3427 lines, scripts (like staccato and accent) and accidentals. In
3428 the LilyPond emacs mode, the `|' will now display the current
3429 beat within the measure.
