+Lyrics above a staff must have their @code{staff-affinity} set to
+@code{DOWN} or must have their @code{alignAboveContext} property
+set in order to be properly aligned. For more information, see
+@ruser{Placing lyrics vertically}.
+
+@item
+@code{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 @code{stringTunings} is set to a Scheme constant value.
+
+New commands @code{makeStringTuning} and @code{contextStringTuning}
+allow the creation of string tunings in the form of a Lilypond
+chord construct.
+
+@item
+By using @code{\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
+@code{@bs{}language "italiano"} command, which
+can be used in safe mode. The old
+@code{@bs{}include "italiano.ly"} syntax is
+still supported for now, but will be deprecated
+in the future.
+
+@item
+autobeaming is now disabled by @code{\cadenzaOn} and enabled by
+@code{\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.
+
+@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.
+
+@item
+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, @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,

+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.
FretBoards now have a chordChanges property to keep repeated FretBoard objects
from being typeset.
+@item
+The vertical spacing engine has been drastically changed, making
+it more flexible and easier to control.
+The spacing between staves within a system can now change
+to better use the space on the page.
+User-defined contexts may participate in this flexible spacing,
+depending on how their @code{staff-affinity} is defined.
+Some page formatting variables (@code{page-top-space},
+@code{between-system-space -padding}, and
+@code{before- between- after-title-space}) have been replaced
+by flexible vertical dimensions.
