@item
-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.
+New command-line option @code{--loglevel=LEVEL} to control how much output
+LilyPond creates. Possible values are ERROR, WARN, BASIC_PROGRESS, PROGRESS, DEBUG.
@item
-The part-combiner's decision to combine/not combine notes can now be customized
-@lilypond[quote,relative=2]
-\partcombine
-\relative c' { c2 \partcombineApart c | \partcombineChordsOnce e' e }
-\relative c' { c2 \partcombineApart c | c c }
+@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
-Tablature staves show fret numbers only by default. To get the
-former style, @code{\tabFullNotation} is provided.
-
-@item
-Funk-style and Walker-style shape notes have been added.
-
-@item
-Rests will no longer keep a staff alive if @code{\RemoveEmptyStaffContext}
-is used.
-
-@item
-New option @code{-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.
-
-@item
-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.
-
-@item
-The SVG backend has optional support for
-@uref{http://www.w3.org/Submission/WOFF, WOFF fonts}. Using the Scheme
-option @code{-d svg-woff} together with the SVG backend selection
-@code{-d backend=svg}, produces SVG output with CSS WOFF font selection.
-
-@item
-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:
-@uref{http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/The-Feta-font.html#Clef-glyphs,
-old version},
-@uref{http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/notation/the-feta-font.html#Clef-glyphs,
-new version}.
-
@item
-Text crescendo spanners can now be added directly using @code{\cresc},
-@code{\dim} and @code{\decresc}.
-@lilypond[quote,relative=2]
-c4\cresc c c c\f |
-c4\dim c c c\!
+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
-The documented syntax of @samp{lilypond} environments in the @LaTeX{}
-mode of @command{lilypond-book} has been changed to conform with
-standard @LaTeX{} syntax: options now come after the environment name:
-@example
-\begin@{lilypond@}[@var{options}] @dots{}
-@end example
-
-The previous syntax with options after @samp{\begin} is still accepted
-by @command{lilypond-book} but deprecated. Something like
-@example
-sed -i '/begin\[/s/begin\(\[[^]]*]\)\(@{lilypond@}\)/begin\2\1/'
-@end example
-
-might do the trick for conversion.
-
-@item
-Aesthetics of shape note heads have been enhanced. Variable line thicknesses
-have been implemented. All note widths have been made consistent.
-Minor shape note commands that use the relative major key for scale steps
-have been added.
-
-@item
-A variant of the segno sign is provided:
-@lilypond[quote,relative=2]
-c4 d e f \bar "S"
-g4 f e d
+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
-Context modifications (@code{\with} blocks) can be stored in variables and
-inserted into contexts or other @code{\with} blocks:
-@lilypond[quote,verbatim]
-coloredheads = \with { \override NoteHead #'color = #red }
-noclef = \with { \remove "Clef_engraver" }
-\score {
- \new Staff {
- \new Voice \with { \coloredheads } \relative c' { c4 e g c }
- }
- \layout {
- \context {
- \Staff
- \noclef
- }
- }
-}
-@end lilypond
@item
-A half-open articulation was added:
-@lilypond[quote,relative=2]
-c4\halfopen
+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
-This is sometimes used to indicate half-open hi-hats.
@item
-The Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm is now fully supported for
-single-line markup due to enhanced integration with Pango.
+LilyPond.app now supports MacOS X 10.7, thanks Christian Hitz!
@item
-LilyPond is now licensed under the GNU GPL v3+.
-
-@item
-In tablature, frets can be indicated with labels other than numbers:
-
-@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=1]
-\new TabStaff
-\with {
- stringTunings = #'(17 14 9 5 2 -3)
- tablatureFormat = #fret-letter-tablature-format
-}
-\new TabVoice {
- \set fretLabels = #`(,(markup #:with-color red "a")
- "b"
- ,(markup #:italic #:smaller "c"))
- <f d>4. <bes>8 <g e>4
-}
-@end lilypond
-
-@item
-Layout objects can be printed over a white background, which whites-out objects
-in lower layers which lie beneath:
-
-@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=1]
-\time 3/4
-\override Staff.StaffSymbol #'layer = #4
-\once \override Tie #'layer = #2
-b'2.~
-\once \override Staff.TimeSignature #'whiteout = ##t
-\once \override Staff.TimeSignature #'layer = #3
-\time 5/4
-b4
-@end lilypond
-
-@item
-Chords can be repeated using the @code{q} shortcut:
-
-@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2]
-<c e g>8.-^ q16 q4-^
-@end lilypond
-
-@item
-With two-sided mode, margins for odd and even pages can be set using
-@code{inner-margin} and @code{outer-margin}:
-
-@example
-\paper @{
- two-sided = ##t
- inner-margin = 10 \mm
- outer-margin = 20 \mm
-@}
-@end example
-
-@item
-Paper margin defaults, as specified in @file{ly/@/paper@/-defaults@/-init@/.ly}, apply
-to the default paper size (a4) and are automatically scaled according to the
-paper size chosen.
-
-@item
-All combinations of @code{left-margin}, @code{right-margin} and
-@code{line-width} work now. There is no more need to set @code{line-width}
-manually unless you explicitly want to.
-
-@item
-Support for using an alternative music font, such as Gonville, is now
-added.
-
-@item
-In addition to the existing @code{\hspace} markup command,
-a new @code{\vspace} command has been added to provide an easy
-and flexible way to add vertical space in markups.
-
-@item
-The direction of manual beams can be set with @code{^[} and @code{_[}.
-
-@item
-A version of the breve note head has been added with two vertical lines on each side.
-@lilypond[quote,relative=2]
-\time 4/2
-\override Staff.NoteHead #'style = #'altdefault
-c\breve | b\breve
-@end lilypond
-
-@item
-Instrument names and vocal names now take into account the extent of
-system start delimiters in other staves for their positioning,
-resulting in improved default alignment for left-, center- and
-right-aligned names.
-@lilypond[quote,indent=18\mm]
-<<
- \new StaffGroup <<
- \new GrandStaff <<
- \new Staff {
- \set Staff.instrumentName = #"Piccolo"

- \hspace #2
- \right-brace #45
-}
-@end lilypond
-
-@item

-@example
-#(ly:set-option 'delete-intermediate-files #f)
-@end example
-
-@item
-Dashed and dotted slurs, phrasing slurs, and ties

-g4( f e d) |
-\slurHalfDashed
-c4( d e f)

-\mark \markup { \eyeglasses }
-c4_\markup { \eyeglasses }

-
-@item
-A snap-pizzicato (also known as Bartok-pizzicato) articulation was added:
-@lilypond[quote,relative=2]
-c4\snappizzicato
-@end lilypond
