@top New features in 2.16 since 2.14

HINTS

* add new items at the top

* only show verbatim input for syntax/input changes

* try to be as brief possible in those cases

* don't try to provide real-world examples, they often get too big,
which scares away people.

* Write complete sentences.

* only show user-visible changes.

@item
@code{\set \once} now correctly resets the property value to the previous value.
@lilypond[fragment,quote,relative=2]
  \set fingeringOrientations = #'(left)
  <e-1>4
  \once \set fingeringOrientations = #'(right)
  <e-1>
  <e-1>-"left"
@end lilypond


@item
The alignment of dynamic spanners (hairpins, text crescendo, etc.) is now
automatically broken if a different direction is explicitly given.
@lilypond[fragment,quote,relative=2]
c4_\< c c^\> c c1_\p
@end lilypond


@item
Appoggiaturas and acciaccaturas now also work inside a slur, not only inside
a phrasing slur. Also, a function @code{\slashedGrace} was added that does
does not use a slur from the acciaccatura note.
@lilypond[fragment,relative=2]
c4( \appoggiatura e8 d4 \acciaccatura e8 d4 \slashedGrace e8 c4)
@end lilypond


@item
To suppress the line on a crescendo text spanner (and other similar spanners),
LilyPond now fully supports the @code{#'style = #'none} property.
@lilypond[fragment,quote,relative=2]
\override DynamicTextSpanner #'style = #'none
c4\cresc c c g, c'\p
@end lilypond


@item
Glissandi can now span multiple lines.
