-A variant of the segno sign is provided:
+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
+@lilypond[quote,relative=2]
+\partcombine
+\relative c' { c2 \partcombineApart c | \partcombineChordsOnce e' e }
+\relative c' { c2 \partcombineApart c | c c }
+@end lilypond
+
+@item
+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,
+new version}.
+
+
+@item
+Text crescendo spanners can now be added directly using @code{\cresc},
+@code{\dim} and @code{\decresc}.
+@lilypond[quote,relative=2]
+c4\cresc c c c\f |
+c4\dim c c c\!
+@end lilypond
+
+
+@item
+The documented syntax of @samp{lilypond} environments in the @LaTeX{}
+mode of @command{lilypond-book} has been changed to conform with
+standard @LaTeX{} syntax: options now come after the environment name:
+@example
+\begin@{lilypond@}[@var{options}] @dots{}
+@end example
+
+The previous syntax with options after @samp{\begin} is still accepted
+by @command{lilypond-book} but deprecated. Something like
+@example
+sed -i '/begin\[/s/begin\(\[[^]]*]\)\(@{lilypond@}\)/begin\2\1/'
+@end example
+
+might do the trick for conversion.
+
+@item
+Aesthetics of shape note heads have been enhanced. Variable line thicknesses
+have been implemented. All note widths have been made consistent.
+Minor shape note commands that use the relative major key for scale steps
+have been added.
+
+@item
+A variant of the Segno sign is provided:
@lilypond[quote,relative=2]
c4 d e f \bar "S"
g4 f e d
\new Voice \with { \coloredheads } \relative c' { c4 e g c }
}
\layout {
- \context { \Staff
+ \context {
+ \Staff
\noclef
}
}
@end lilypond
@item
-Paper margin defaults, as specified in @file{ly/@/paper@/-defaults@/-init@/.ly}, apply
+With two-sided mode, margins for odd and even pages can be set using
+@code{inner-margin} and @code{outer-margin}:
+
+@example
+\paper @{
+ two-sided = ##t
+ inner-margin = 10 \mm
+ outer-margin = 20 \mm
+@}
+@end example
+
+@item
+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.
