+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 }

+A half-open articulation was added:
+@lilypond[quote,relative=2]
+c4\halfopen
+@end lilypond
+This is sometimes used to indicate half-open hi-hats.

+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

Chords can be repeated using the @code{q} shortcut:
FretBoards now have a chordChanges property to keep repeated FretBoard objects
from being typeset.
+@item
+A variant of the segno sign is provided:
+@lilypond[quote,relative=2]
+c4 d e f \bar "S"
+g4 f e d
