 New features in 2.20 since 2.18
 *******************************
 

+   • It is now possible to move systems with reference to their current
+     position using the ‘extra-offset’ subproperty of
+     ‘NonMusicalPaperColumn.line-break-system-details’.  Both vertical
+     and horizontal changes are possible.  This feature is especially
+     useful for making slight adjustments to the default vertical
+     position of individual systems.  See *note
+     (lilypond-notation)Explicit staff and system positioning:: for more
+     information.
+
+   • It is now possible to add text to analysis brackets through the
+     ‘HorizontalBracketText’ object.

+            \context {
+              \Voice
+              \consists "Horizontal_bracket_engraver"
+            }
+          }

+          {
+            \once \override HorizontalBracketText.text = "a"
+            c''\startGroup d''\stopGroup
+            e''-\tweak HorizontalBracketText.text "a'" \startGroup d''\stopGroup
+          }

+
+   • The ends of hairpins may now be fine-tuned using the ‘shorten-pair’
+     grob property, which previously only affected text-spanners like
+     ‘TupletBracket’ and ‘OttavaBracket’.  Positive values offset to the
+     right, negative to the left.

+
+   • In fret-diagrams the distance between frets and the distance
+     between strings is now independently adjustable.  Available are
+     ‘fret-distance’ and ‘string-distance’ as subproperties of
+     ‘fret-diagram-details’.
+          fretMrkp = \markup { \fret-diagram-terse #"x;x;o;2;3;2;" }

+          \markuplist
+          \override #'(padding . 2)
+          \table #'(0 -1) {
+            "default"
+
+            \fretMrkp
+
+            "fret-distance"
+
+            \override #'(fret-diagram-details . ((fret-distance . 2)))
+            \fretMrkp
+
+            "string-distance"
+
+            \override #'(fret-diagram-details . ((string-distance . 2)))
+            \fretMrkp
+          }
+          image of music
+
+   • Accidental rules can now be defined across ‘ChoirStaff’ contexts.
+     Two new rules ‘choral’ and ‘choral-cautionary’ are available that
+     combine the characteristics of ‘modern-voice’ and ‘piano’ or their
+     equivalents with cautionary accidentals.
+
+   • The music function ‘\unfoldRepeats’ can now take an optional
+     argument-list specifying which type(s) of repeated music should be
+     unfolded.  Possible entries are ‘percent’, ‘tremolo’, ‘volta’.  If
+     the optional argument-list is unspecified, ‘repeated-music’ will be
+     used, unfolding all.
+

    • A new ‘output-attributes’ grob property is now used for svg output
      instead of the ‘id’ grob property.  It allows multiple attributes
      to be defined as an association list.  For example, ‘#'((id . 123)
