5 (I'd rather have the below in the CG. -gp)
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 @subheading
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

4435 2.5.21 has more bugfixes. It also has support for "grid

4445 @subheading April 18, 2005
4446 LilyPond 2.5.20 has lots of bugfixes, in particular, MIDI files of
4447 multi-movement pieces don't overwrite each other. Version 2.5.20 also
4448 supports putting arrows on lines, such as glissandi.
4449 More details are in the
4451 file, or go straight to @ref{Old downloads}.
4456 @subheading April 15, 2005
4457 LilyPond 2.5.19 was released. The command `\epsfile' allows inclusion
4458 of EPS graphics into markup texts and the music function
4459 `\musicDisplay' will display a music expression as indented
4460 Scheme code. Take a look at
4462 file and @ref{Old downloads}.
4467 @subheading April 6, 2005
4468 2.5.18 is a bugfix release. It has many small cleanups in the

4496 file and @ref{Old downloads}!
4501 @subheading March 7, 2005
4502 LilyPond 2.5.14 is out. It is now possible (and in fact, encouraged),
4503 to build LilyPond either without the Kpathsea TeX library or with the
4504 Kpathsea dynamically loaded, but only for the -btex backend. This
4505 means that packages do not have to depend on TeX anymore. With this,
4506 the Windows download size will go down significantly. Take a look at

4523 Ghostscript 8.15rc3}. Unfortunately, this version of Ghostscript
4524 lacks the IJS dynamic library, which means that it will conflict with
4525 the gimp-print package. You may install it with --nodeps. Use at your

4549 @subheading February 21, 2005
4550 LilyPond 2.5.12 is out. The big news is that this release supports
4551 TrueType fonts. This means that it is now possible to use @strong{all}
4552 fonts available via FontConfig. Also, arpeggios may be written out
4553 using ties and individual objects may have colors! Take a look at
4555 file and @ref{Old downloads}!

4572 used in the new and improved lilypond-book script.

4580 bugs in the direct PS output for piano braces.
4586 @subheading January 16, 2005
4587 LilyPond 2.5.8 is out. This
4588 release has many internal code cleanups. In addition,
4589 accuracy of error reporting has been improved.

4599 LilyPond 2.5.7 is out. This release has a completely usable
4600 Pango integration for the PS backend. The default font is
4601 Century Schoolbook from the PS font suite. It also has
4602 small updates to the tablature settings by Erlend Aasland,
4603 assorted manual updates by Graham, and an overhaul of the
4604 font code by Werner.

4612 @subheading January 02, 2005
4613 LilyPond 2.5.6 was released. This is a "technology preview"
4614 release, which means that it has all kinds of nifty
4615 features, but is not actually usable for producing nicely
4616 printed scores. For this reason, an RPM of this release was
4617 not produced. The PS backend is now completely switched over
4618 to Pango/FontConfig: for -f ps, LilyPond only accepts UTF8
4619 input, all text fonts are loaded through Pango, the TeX
4620 backend now offloads all metric computations to LaTeX, the
4621 SVG and GNOME backends are broken, most probably.

4630 LilyPond 2.5.5 is out. It is the first one to link against
4631 FontConfig and Pango, although it is only available in the "-f
4632 ps" output. The default output format has been changed back TeX

4641 @subheading December 20, 2004
4642 LilyPond 2.5.4 is out. This release has some major
4643 brainsurgery in the font handling. As of now, LilyPond loads
4644 the music fonts in OpenType font format using FreeType.
4645 This has made a lot of things simpler, including font
4646 handling for the GNOME backend and SVG backend.

4654 @subheading December 3, 2004
4655 LilyPond 2.5.3 was released. A new script, `\espressivo' has
4656 been added, for a combination of crescendo and decrescendo
4657 on a single note. In markups, expressions stacked with
4658 `\column', `\center-align', etc, are not grouped with `< ...
4659 >' anymore, but with `@{ ... @}'. LilyPond will now avoid line
4660 breaks that cause long texts to stick outside of the page

4672 LilyPond 2.5.2 was released. It has several goodies,
4673 including solfa-notation (shaped noteheads), and an easier
4674 mechanism for customizing title, footer and header
4675 layout. Don't forget to rebuild the fonts, as they have been
4676 changed to accomodate the solfa-notation.

4684 @subheading November 20, 2004
4685 LilyPond 2.5.1 is out. This is an experimental release,
4686 containing some proof-of-concept code for our graphical
4687 layout editor. You can add and remove things from the file,
4688 and the tweaks will still work, as long as the tweaked notes
4689 remain in the place (ie. start at the same time-wise and be
4690 part of the same context). Further attractions are: the
4691 gnome backend now also draws beams and slurs, updates to the
4692 SVG backend, support for the lmodern font set for TeX,

4702 The LilyPond development is OPEN once again! The first
4703 release of the 2.5 series has the following new Features:
4704 Positioning of slurs can now be adjusted manually, Grace

4706 notes, Cue notes can now be created with
4709 \cueDuring #VOICE-NAME #DIRECTION { MUSIC }
4712 Stemlets (short stems over beamed rests) have been added.
4713 In addition, Jan hacked together some highly experimental
4714 code where you can use the mouse to drag and drop objects in
4715 the -f gnome backend. These tweaks can be saved and are
4716 applied to the PS and TeX output as well.

4788 LilyPond 2.3.23 has bugfixes in the documentation, lilypond-book and

4823 LilyPond 2.3.20 was released. It fixes the biggest problems
4824 with encoding and the TeX backend. As a result, latin1
4825 characters (like the german SS) show up correctly in the

4854 LilyPond 2.3.18 was released. It has further improvements in
4855 the slur formatting, and a small syntax change: the mode
4856 changing commands (`\chords', `\lyrics', etc.) have been
4857 renamed to `\chordmode', `\lyricmode', etc. The command

4868 @subheading September 11, 2004
4869 LilyPond 2.3.16 was released. It fixes a couple of annoying
4870 bugs, and has an important addition in the slur-formatter. Slurs that
4871 pass note heads much closer than the average distance get an extra
4872 penalty. This fixes a lot of difficult slurring cases. See
4873 input/regression/new-slur for some examples.
4874 Please consider this release as a 3.0 pre-release so try to find as
4875 many bugs as possible. A report including a small .ly example
4876 can be filed at bug-lilypond@@gnu.org
4877 In this case, a bug is defined as something that the current 2.3 does
4878 worse than the latest 2.2 release. We want to be sure that no output
4879 will get uglier by upgrading to 3.0, so that once 3.0 is out, nothing
4880 will hold users back in switching.

4889 LilyPond 2.3.15 was released. It fixes for some gaffes with
4890 the new vertical spacing engine, has lots of documentation
4891 updates, and has support for landscape output in the direct
4892 postscript output. Also, the types of events quoted with
4893 `\quote' can now be tuned with `quotedEventTypes'. By default,
4894 only notes and rests end up in quotes.

4903 LilyPond 2.3.14 was released and has exciting features!
4904 LilyPond will try to keep staves at the same distances across a
4905 page, but it will stretch distances to prevent collisions; key
4906 signature cancellations are now printed before the bar line;
4907 different voices that all use "\quote" can now refer to each

4916 @subheading August 29, 2004
4917 LilyPond now has a Documentation
4918 Editor, Graham Percival. From now on, he will oversee that
4919 useful information flows from the mailiing list into the
4920 manual. Also, if there are unclear sections in the manual,
4921 let him know via one of the mailing lists.
4922 As a start of his career, he worked to transform the
4923 "Templates" section of the website into a readable and comprehensive
4924 chapter of the user manual.
4925 A lot of cheers for Graham!
4930 @subheading August 29, 2004
4931 LilyPond 2.3.13 was released. The new slur code was
4932 improved, scripts can be made to avoid slurs, by setting
4933 inside-slur to #f. It is no longer necessary to instantiate
4934 "up" and "down" staves separately when using
4935 \autochange. Jurgen Reuter refreshed the logic around
4936 mensural flags, so they are adjusted for staff lines once

4977 @subheading August 1, 2004
4978 LilyPond 2.3.10 is out. This release has a major clean-up of the
4979 input/test/ directory. Many examples have been moved to the regression
4980 test or manual, and the superfluous or outdated ones have been
4981 removed. The directory has gone from 146 examples to 72 examples. That
4982 means that we're halfway cleaning it out. Incidentally, the manual
4983 has gone from 200 to 220 pages. New features:
4986 Running trills now have their own spanner and event. They are
4987 started and stopped with \startTrillSpan and \stopTrillSpan
4989 There is a new markup command `\postscript' that takes a string

5000 @subheading July 30, 2004
5001 LilyPond 2.3.9 is out. The important change is that lilypond
5002 now once-again directly runs the binary. The old wrapper script has
5003 been renamed to lilypond-latex.py, and should only be used for legacy
5004 projects. The recommended route is either using lilypond directly
5005 (with \book, you can have multiple movements within one document), or
5006 to run lilypond-book with a LaTeX wrapper file.
5007 This release also fixes a bunch of small errors. I now consider
5008 LilyPond feature complete for a 3.0 release. Next on the TODO list is
5009 updating the manual, and after that's done we can release 3.0. The
5010 projected date for this to happen is in about a month.

5019 LilyPond 2.3.8 fixes a few minor bugs in the new slur code,
5020 and has rewritten support for ledger lines. Now, in tight
5021 situations, ledger lines will be shortened so they stay
5022 separate. This also required a cleanup of the Ambitus

5031 LilyPond 2.3.7 was released and has new exciting features!
5032 The slur formatting has been rewritten. The new slur code
5033 works similar to the Beam formatter: scores are assigned for
5034 all esthetic components of a slur. A large number of
5035 combinations for begin and end points is then tried out.
5036 Slurs will now also take into account collisions with staff
5037 lines, scripts (like staccato and accent) and accidentals. In
5038 the LilyPond emacs mode, the `|' will now display the current
5039 beat within the measure.
