-LilyPond uses a versioning scheme similar to the Linux kernel. In a
-version "x.y.z", an even second number 'y' denotes a stable version.
-For development versions 'y' is odd. So, in theory, version 1.2 is stable,
-which means that there are no glaring errors in it. In practice 1.2.x is also
-unmaintained.
-
-1.3.x is in healthy development: lots of problems turn up, but they're
-fixed quickly. Therefore we recommend you try 1.2.x, if you have any
-problem with it, upgrade to the latest 1.3.x release.
