+@item
+The Articulate script by Peter Chubb, which is GPLv3 licensed, is now
+a part of the distribution. It allows easy generation of improved
+MIDI files that perform non-legato by default, legato slurs, staccato,
+tempo markings, trills, etc.
+
+@example
+\include "articulate.ly"
+\articulate <<
+ all the rest of the score...
+>>
+@end example
+
+@item
+Single beat repeats for sixteenth or shorter notes and beat repeats for
+measures containing notes of varying durations are now supported.
+
+@lilypond[fragment,relative=2]
+\repeat percent 2 { c16 d }
+\repeat percent 2 { c32 e }
+\repeat percent 2 { c64 f }
+\repeat percent 2 { c128 g' }
+@end lilypond

+Lilypond now engraves woodwind fingering charts.
+
+@lilypond
+\relative c' {
+ \textLengthOn
+ des1^\markup {
+ \woodwind-diagram #'bassoon #'((lh . (thumb-cis))
+ (cc . (one two three five six))
+ (rh . (f)))
+ } _"bassoon"
+ c1^\markup {
+ \woodwind-diagram #'oboe #'((rh . (c))
+ (lh . ())
+ (cc . (one two three four five six)))
+ } _"oboe"
+
+}
+@end lilypond
+
+@item
+MIDI output has been improved
+@itemize @bullet
+@item voices are kept separated, which makes the MIDI much more useful for postprocessing
+@item optimal channel distribution: identical instruments share the same channel. This means that e.g. for a full orchestral score there are always 16 (15 plus percussion) diffently sounding instruments available, unrestricted by the number of staves or voices.
+@item dynamics are now rendered as note velocities, no longer as midi dynamics. This improves the sound on [high end] midi renderers.
+@end itemize
+
+@item
+MIDI-import through Midi2ly is improved
+@itemize @bullet
+@item Midi2ly now also works on Windows systems
+@item MIDI-files with more than 32 tracks are now handled
+@item notes on certain simultaneous voices no longer ignored
+@item notes overrunning a bar line are no longer truncated
+@item initial key signature and time signature are respected
+@item a problem with octaves in subsequent tracks/voices is fixed
+@item initial support for multiple voices notated on one staff
+@item the instrumentName is set from track data
+@item new --skip option, rests are displayed by default
+@item rests overrunning a bar line are not truncated
+@item new --include-header option for setting titles
+@item new --preview option for big MIDI-files
+@end itemize
+The first feature was sponsored by Valentin Villenave,
+the other features were sponsored by Image-Line Software for FL Studio.
+
+@item
+A new @code{Completion_rest_engraver} is available for automatically
+converting long rests which overrun bar lines, matching the
+@code{Completion_heads_engraver} for notes
+@example
+\layout @{
+ \context @{
+ \Voice
+ \remove "Note_heads_engraver"
+ \consists "Completion_heads_engraver"
+ \remove "Rest_engraver"
+ \consists "Completion_rest_engraver"
+ @}
+@}
+@end example
+This feature was sponsored by Image-Line Software for FL Studio.
+
+@item
+Dots can be added to the table of contents items using:
+@example
+\paper @{
+ tocItemMarkup = \tocItemWithDotsMarkup
+@}
+@end example
+
+@item
+New markup commands @code{\pattern} and @code{\fill-with-pattern} are available.
+@lilypond
+\markup \column {
+ \pattern #3 #Y #0.3 \flat
+ \null
+ \pattern #7 #X #2 \flat
+ \override #'(line-width . 40) \fill-with-pattern #1 #CENTER . left right
+}
+@end lilypond
+
+@item
+A minimal composer toolkit of modal transformations is provided.
+A motif may be @notation{transposed}, @notation{inverted} and/or
+converted to its @notation{retrograde} within any scale.
+
+@lilypond
+pentatonicScale = \relative a' { a c d f g }
+motif = \relative c'' { d8 c f,4 <a f'> <a f'> }
+
+\new Staff <<
+ {
+ \partial 4
+ \pentatonicScale
+ \motif
+ \modalTranspose c a, \pentatonicScale \motif
+ \modalInversion d'' a' \pentatonicScale \motif
+ \retrograde \motif
+ }
+ {
+ \partial 4
+ s4^"pentatonic scale"
+ s1
+ s1^"motif"
+ s1^"transposition"
+ s1^"inversion"
+ s1^"retrograde"
+ }
+>>
+@end lilypond
+
+@item
+Added minimal support for black mensural notation.
+
+@item
+Enhanced support for obliqua shapes within white mensural ligatures.
+
+@lilypond
+\context MensuralStaff
+{
+ \clef "petrucci-c3"
+ \[
+ \override NoteHead #'style = #'semipetrucci
+ c'\maxima
+ \override NoteHead #'style = #'blackpetrucci
+ a\breve
+ \revert NoteHead #'style
+ \override NoteHead #'ligature-flexa = ##t
+ \override NoteHead #'flexa-width = #3
+ g
+ g'
+ \override NoteHead #'flexa-width = #5
+ c'
+ d'
+ \revert NoteHead #'style
+ c'\longa
+ \]
+}
+@end lilypond
+
+@item
+Compound time signatures are now supported by the @code{\compoundMeter} command,
+which can be used instead of @code{\time}:
+
+@lilypond
+\relative c'' {
+ \compoundMeter #'(3 1 8)
+ c8 c c c
+ \compoundMeter #'((2 8) (5 8))
+ c8 c c c c c c
+ \compoundMeter #'((1 2 3 8) (1 4) (3 8))
+ c8 c c c c c c4 c8 c c
+}
+@end lilypond
+
+@item
+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.
+
@lilypond
vI = \relative c'' { \clef "treble" \repeat unfold 40 g4 }
\addQuote vIQuote { \vI }
@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 }
@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=1]
\new TabStaff

- stringTunings = #'(17 14 9 5 2 -3)

+ ,(ly:make-pitch 0 5 NATURAL)

\new TabVoice {
@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.
