- * New markup commands `\pattern' and `\fill-with-pattern' are
- available. [image of music]
-
- * A minimal composer toolkit of modal transformations is provided.
- A motif may be transposed, inverted and/or converted to its
- retrograde within any scale.

-
- * Added minimal support for black mensural notation.
-
- * Enhanced support for obliqua shapes within white mensural
- ligatures.

-
- * New markup functions `\with-link' and `\page-link' that add
- hyperlinks to a given label or a given page number. This works in
- the PDF backend only. All entries to the table of contents now
- automatically add hyperlinks to the pages they are referring to.
-
- * Compound time signatures are now supported by the `\compoundMeter'
- command, which can be used instead of `\time':

-
- * Lyrics above a staff must have their `staff-affinity' set to
- `DOWN' or must have their `alignAboveContext' property set in
- order to be properly aligned. For more information, see *note
- Placing lyrics vertically: (lilypond-notation)Placing lyrics
- vertically.
-
- * `stringTunings' property values have changed from a list of
- semitones above middle C to a list of LilyPond pitch values.
- convert-ly will handle the change automatically where the value of
- `stringTunings' is set to a Scheme constant value.
-
- New commands `makeStringTuning' and `contextStringTuning' allow
- the creation of string tunings in the form of a Lilypond chord
- construct.
-
- * By using `\cueDuringWithClef', cue notes can now also have their
- own clef, which is correctly reset at the end of the cue notes.
- At the begin of each line, the standard clef is still displayed,
- but the cue clef is shown after the time/key signature in smaller
- size.

-
- * Note names can be selected with a new `\language "italiano"'
- command, which can be used in safe mode. The old `\include
- "italiano.ly"' syntax is still supported for now, but will be
- deprecated in the future.
-
- * autobeaming is now disabled by `\cadenzaOn' and enabled by
- `\cadenzaOff'. Beaming in cadenzas should be indicated manually.
- Also, if a cadenza is used in a piece with autobeaming disabled, it
- will need to be disabled again after the cadenza.
-
- * The user is now able to specify the name of the predefined
- fretboard table. This allows the use of multiple tables, with
- switching between them based on user input.
-
- * The part-combiner's decision to combine/not combine notes can now
- be customized
-

-
-
- * Tablature staves show fret numbers only by default. To get the
- former style, `\tabFullNotation' is provided.
-
- * Funk-style and Walker-style shape notes have been added.
-
- * Rests will no longer keep a staff alive if
- `\RemoveEmptyStaffContext' is used.
-
- * New option `-dinclude-settings=INCLUDEFILE.ly', which causes
- lilypond to include the given file before the score is processed.
- This allows the user to change global settings without the need to
- change the score itself. That way, several different
- editions/version (e.g. different page sizes) can be generated from
- a file without having to modify the score for each version.
-
- * The autobeaming settings syntax has been changed. beatLength,
- beatGrouping, beamSettings, and measureGrouping have all been
- eliminated. Autobeaming is now controlled by baseMoment,
- beatStructure, and beamExceptions. Default settings for each of
- these properties can be stored for any time signature in
- time-signature-settings, so that when the time signature is
- changed, the autobeaming will automatically change. The new
- syntax should be much easier and require fewer overrides.
-
- * The SVG backend has optional support for WOFF fonts
- (http://www.w3.org/Submission/WOFF). Using the Scheme option `-d
- svg-woff' together with the SVG backend selection `-d
- backend=svg', produces SVG output with CSS WOFF font selection.
-
- * The LilyPond G clef has been rotated 1.5 degrees clockwise for
- improved balance. The old and new versions can be compared by
- looking at the documentation: old version
- (http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/The-Feta-font.html#Clef-glyphs),
- new version
- (http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/notation/the-feta-font.html#Clef-glyphs).
-
- * Text crescendo spanners can now be added directly using `\cresc',
- `\dim' and `\decresc'.
