+Tuplets are now created with the @code{\tuplet} command, which
+takes a fraction @code{@var{t}/@var{n}} to specify that @var{t}
+notes are played in the time usually allowed for @var{n}. One
+@code{\tuplet} command can create several tuplet groups if their
+duration is typed after the fraction.

+The @code{\times} command with its inverted fraction order
+@code{@var{n}/@var{t}} is still available.

+Introducing two new markup-commands; @code{\draw-dashed-line} and
+@code{\draw-dotted-line}.
+
+@noindent
+The dashed-line extends to the whole length given by @var{dest}, if
+@code{full-length} is set to @code{#t} (this is the default) without any
+space at the beginning or end.  @code{off} will then be altered to fit.
+To insist on the given (or default) values of @code{on}, @code{off} use
+@code{\override #'(full-length . #f)}.  Manual settings for @code{on},
+@code{off} and @code{phase} are possible.
+
+@noindent
+The dotted-line always extends to the whole length given by @var{dest},
+without any space at the beginning or end.  Manual settings for
+@code{off} are possible to get larger or smaller space between the dots.
+The given (or default) value of @code{off} will be altered to fit the
+line-length.
