+pl 58.uu1
+ - experimental pdftex support, courtesy Stephen Peters.
+ - --version support
+ - junked complicated loose column handling.

+entire width of prefatory matter.
+ - standardise(d) switches:-d for debug, -M for Make deps, -m for midi-only.
+ - bf: papervar non_musical_space_strength now works. Set to 8 (-> Strong! )
+ - bf: space after time_sig.
+ - bf: decrescendi.
+ - bf: barlines on voltas
+
+************
+pl 57.hwn1
+ - bf: accidentals on grace notes.
+ - \property graceAccidentalSpace
+ - bf: ignore grace notes duration for non-grace spacing.
+ - uncommented Key_req::transpose.
+ - Dot_column::do_post_processing (): better dot collisions, see dots.fly.
+ - derive Dot_column from Note_side_item.
+ - renaming of files
+ * heads-engraver
+ * request-iterator
+ * p-score
+ * engraver-group
+
+pl 57.jcn3
+ - bf: no extension: assume .ly
+ - bf: bow::do_width; which in turn allowed
+ - removed broken interstaff slur damping hack, and
+ - bf: slur height damping fixes damping
+
+pl 57.jcn2
+ - bf: ? priority and snap to stem
+
+pl 56.jcn4
+ - interstaff slur fixes and damping
+
+pl 56.mk1
+ - bf: collision.cc: collisions between chords with different
+ stem directions and close heads.
+
+****************s**************
+
+pl 56.jcn3
+ - slur de-hairification
+ * slurs always attached to noteheads, by default
+ * corrections for steep and high slurs
+ * snap to stem end when close
+ - bow/tie/slur dy/dx fix
+
+pl 56.hwn1
+ - some spacing tweaks.
+ - bf: two repeats + alts after each other.
+pl 56.jcn2
+ - tie: bfs + even simpler
+
+pl 56.jcn1
+ - bf: re-added \textflat,sharp to fix chords...
+ - bf: chord-modifier and mandatory dot: c-maj5
+ - tutorial chord fixes
+ - tie fixes and boldifying:
+ * removed sloping (dy!=0) code
+ * use actual note-widths
+ * y[left] == y[right]
+ * follow OSU rules, I hope (from comments in text -- must check)
+ * undetermined direction -> down; inverse of stem
+ - bf: beam: undetermined direction -> up; like stem
+ - slur-symmetry fixes
+ - fix for \rhythm and seq_iter childs (still crude, but more effective)
+*********
+
+pl 55.uu1
+ - use GS' anti aliasing
+
+pl 55.jcn1
+ - auto-beamer: consider current duration first in ending/starting beam
+ this way, you can have 16ths auto-beamed, in some way, but 8ths never
+ beamAutoEnd_16 = 1;
+ beamAutoEnd_8 = 1/8;
+ - added some classes and few lines of doco to .dstreamrc
+ - refman:
+ * comment out broken
+ * commented out stale tex macros (tex/* dir too)
+ * bfs/new syntax: chords
+ - more midi2ly renaming stuff
+ - bf: make info (midi2ly and other renaming)
+
+pl 54.jcn2
+ - bf: auto-beamer: don't beam over skips
+ - update BUGS
+

+ - Font update: added more mensural style time signatures,
+ old2/4, old6/8alt, old4/8 thanks to Christian Mondrup.

+ plain TeX still gives wrong indentation
+ - bf: volta brackets broken over several lines get open end.
+ Final bracket gets vertical end if it stops at double bar.
+ - Dashed grace flags also for durations shorter than 8.
+ - N.W.Gade: fixed some details
+
+pl 55.mb1
+ - bf: font magnification also in PS output

+pl 54 (july, 8)
+pl 53.jbr1
+ - scripts/ly2dvi.py: A fix for the multitude of file systems supported
