+Blocks introduced with @code{\header} can be stored in variables
+and used as arguments to music and scheme functions and as the
+body of @code{#@{@dots{}#@}} constructs. They are represented as
+a Guile module.
+
+While @code{\book}, @code{\bookpart}, @code{\score}, @code{\with},
+@code{\layout}, @code{\midi}, @code{\paper} blocks can be passed
+around in similar manner, they are represented by different data
+types.

+Dot-separated symbol lists like @code{FretBoard.stencil} were
+already supported as of version@tie{}2.18. They may now also
+contain unsigned integers, and may alternatively be separated by
+commata. This allows usage such as
+@lilypond[quote,verbatim]
+{ \time 2,2,1 5/8 g'8 8 8 8 8 }
+@end lilypond
+and
+@example
+\tagGroup violin,oboe,bassoon
+@end example
+
+@item
+Such lists may also be used in expressions for assignments, sets,
+and overrides. This allows usage such as
+@lilypond[quote,verbatim]
+{ \unset Timing.beamExceptions
+ \set Timing.beatStructure = 1,2,1
+ g'8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 }
+@end lilypond

+Association list elements could previously be assigned values
+individually (for example, paper variables like
+@code{system-system-spacing.basic-distance}). They may now be
+also referenced in this manner, as with
+@example
+\paper @{
+ \void \displayScheme \system-system-spacing.basic-distance
+@}
+@end example
+
+In combination with the previously mentioned changes, this allows
+setting and referencing pseudovariables like @code{violin.1}.

+LilyPond source files may now be embedded inside the generated PDF files.
+This experimental feature is disabled by default and may be regarded as unsafe,
+as PDF documents with hidden content tend to present a security risk.
+Please note that not all PDF viewers have the ability to handle embedded
+documents (if not, the PDF output will appear normally and source files
+will remain invisible). This feature only works with the PDF backend.

+French note names are now defined specifically instead of
+being aliased to Italian note names: in addition to the
+generic Italian-derived syntax, the @var{d} pitch may be

+When outputting MIDI, LilyPond will now store the @code{title}
+defined in a score's @code{\header} block (or, if there is no
+such definition on the @code{\score} level, the first such
+definition found in a @code{\header} block of the score's
+enclosing @code{\bookpart}, @code{\book}, or top-level scope)
+as the name of the MIDI sequence in the MIDI file. Optionally,
+the name of the MIDI sequence can be overridden using the new
+@code{midititle} @code{\header} field independently of
+@code{title} (for example, in case @code{title} contains markup
+code which does not render as plain text in a satisfactory way
+automatically).

+LilyPond functions defined with @code{define-music-function},
+@code{define-event-function}, @code{define-scheme-function} and
+@code{define-void-function} can now be directly called from Scheme
+as if they were genuine Scheme procedures. Argument checking and
+matching will still be performed in the same manner as when
+calling the function through LilyPond input. This includes the
+insertion of defaults for optional arguments not matching their
+predicates. Instead of using @code{\default} in the actual
+argument list for explicitly skipping a sequence of optional
+arguments, @code{*unspecified*} can be employed.
+
+@item
+Current input location and parser are now stored in GUILE fluids
+and can be referenced via the function calls @code{(*location*)}
+and @code{(*parser*)}. Consequently, a lot of functions
+previously taking an explicit @code{parser} argument no longer do
+so.
+
+Functions defined with @code{define-music-function},
+@code{define-event-function}, @code{define-scheme-function} and
+@code{define-void-function} no longer use @code{parser} and
+@code{location} arguments.
+
+With those particular definitions, LilyPond will try to recognize
+legacy use of @code{parser} and @code{location} arguments,
+providing backwards-compatible semantics for some time.

+@item
+In the "english" notename language, the long notenames for pitches
+with accidentals now contain a hyphen for better readability. You

+@example
+\key a-flat \major

+@example
+\key aflat \major
+@end example
+
+Double accidentals do not get another hyphen, so the Dutch
