+The following is a fundamental change in LilyPond's music
+representation: Rhythmic events like @code{LyricEvent} and
+@code{NoteEvent} are no longer wrapped in @code{EventChord} unless they
+have been actually entered as part of a chord in the input. If you
+manipulate music expressions in Scheme, the new behavior may require
+changes in your code. The advantages of making input and music match
+more closely are numerous: music functions previously worked differently
+when used inside or outside of chords. Now they are the same, including
+all the possibilities of argument parsing. You can now use music
+variables inside of chords: a construct like
+@lilypond[quote,ragged-right]
+tonic=fis'
+{ <\tonic \transpose c g \tonic> }
+@end lilypond
+@noindent
+would have been unthinkable previously. You can use
+@code{#@{@dots{}#@}} for constructing chord constituents. Music
+functions inside of chords are no longer specially treated and thus
+accept the same arguments as outside of chords. @code{\tweak} now works
+on single notes without needing to wrap them in a chord. String number
+indications like @code{\1} can be used on single notes. If you need to
+suppress them in some context, override their @code{stencil} with
+@code{##f}.

Scheme expressions inside of embedded Lilypond (@code{#@{@dots{}#@}})
are now executed in lexical closure of the surrounding Scheme code.
``add'' by default; and the ``m'' in minor chords can be customized.
