+HINTS
+
+* only show verbatim input for syntax/input changes
+
+* try to be as brief possible in those cases
+
+* don't try to provide real-world examples, they often get too big,
+which scares away people.
+
+* Write complete sentences.

+
+@item A score may now be specified to take a fixed number of
+systems, by setting the @code{system-count} variable in the
+@code{\layout} block.
+
+This feature was contributed by Joe Neeman.
+
+@item Ties may now be attached to the left side of a note with
+@code{\repeatTie}, for use with volta repeats.
+
+@lilypond[relative=2,fragment,ragged-right]
+r4 <c e g>\repeatTie
+@end lilypond
+
+This feature was sponsored by Steve Doonan.
+
+@item Newly created contexts may also be named with the following
+syntax,
+
+@verbatim
+\new Voice = "alto" ...
+@end verbatim
+
+@item Thicknesses of tie and slurs may be tuned separately for the
+endings and the middle part.
+
+@item Items directly connected with a music input element may be
+parenthesized, for example,
+
+@lilypond[verbatim,ragged-right,fragment,relative=2]
+c4-\parenthesize -.
+<d \parenthesize fis a>
+@end lilypond
+
+This feature was sponsored by Ramana Kumar.
+
+@item Multi-word
+ variables in the @code{\paper} and @code{\layout} block are now
+ separated with dashes, i.e.
+
+@verbatim
+\paper {
+ ragged-right = ##t
+ top-margin = 5 \cm
+}
+@end verbatim
+
+@noindent
+The same holds for analogous options in lilypond-book.
+
+@item
+Music for multiple parts can be interleaved, similar to MUP input.
+This is done with the @code{\parallelMusic} function,
+
+@lilypond[verbatim,ragged-right]
+\parallelMusic #'(voiceA voiceB) {
+ r8 g'16[ c''] e''[ g' c'' e''] r8 g'16[ c''] e''[ g' c'' e''] |
+ c'2 c'2 |
+ r8 a'16[ d''] f''[ a' d'' f''] r8 a'16[ d''] f''[ a' d'' f''] |
+ c'2 c'2 |

+@end lilypond
+
+This feature was sponsored by Trevor Bača and Nicolas Sceaux.
+
+@item A linebreaking configuration can now be saved as a @file{.ly}
+file automatically. This allows vertical alignments to be stretched to
+fit pages in a second formatting run. See
+@inputfileref{input/regression,page-layout-twopass.ly} for an
+example.
+
+This feature was sponsored by Trevor Bača and Nicolas Sceaux.
+
+@item The tie formatting for chords has been further polished. More
+cases are handled gracefully, and all scoring parameters may now be
+changed through the @code{details} property of the @code{Tie} grob.
+
+This refinement was sponsored by Steve Doonan.
+
+@item Positions of staff lines may now be set individually, for
+example
+
+@lilypond[ragged-right]
+\new Staff \relative c' {
+ \override Staff.StaffSymbol #'line-positions = #'(-7 -2 0 7)
+ g c f b e a
+}
+@end lilypond
+
+This feature was sponsored by Andrea Valle.
+
+
+@item A MusicXML importer is included now.
+
+It was sponsored by among others, Mark van den Borre,
+and Muziekacademie Lede.
+
@item
Stem direction on the center staff line are now interpolated between
neighbors. This results in less stem direction changes, leading to a
-more even typography. For example,
+more even appearance. For example,
-
+@lilypond[ragged-right]
+\relative c'' {
+ c4 b c b
+ c c c r
+ b a b a
+}
+@end lilypond
+
+This feature was sponsored by Mike Rolish and Basil Crow.
@item
Slurs now avoid @code{TupletNumber}s, and tuplet numbers may enter the
staff.

This feature was sponsored by Trent Johnston.

@item Tuplet brackets and numbers are implemented as separate grobs,
@code{TupletBracket} and @code{TupletNumber}.
This rewrite was sponsored by Trent Johnston.
@item String arguments for music functions may be specified without
-@code{#} marks. This allows syntactical constructs (like \clef and
-\bar) to be expressed in generic music functions.
+@code{#} marks. Now, \clef and \bar are also music functions.
@item Ties in chords are also formatted using a scoring based
formatting. This reduces the number of collisions for ties in chords,
-@lilypond[raggedright,fragment,relative=2]
+@lilypond[ragged-right,fragment,relative=2]
<b d f g> ~ <b d f g>
@end lilypond
@item With the @code{\tweak} music function, layout objects that are directly
connected to input may be tuned easily,
-@lilypond[relative=2,fragment,verbatim,raggedright]
+@lilypond[relative=2,fragment,verbatim,ragged-right]

\tweak #'font-size #3 c
\tweak #'color #red d
This feature has been sponsored by Bertalan Fodor.
-@item A MusicXML importer is included now.
-
@item Texts set in a TrueType font are now kerned. This requires CVS
Pango or Pango 1.12.
+@lilypond[relative=2,fragment,ragged-right]
+ c4^"VAVAVAffififl"
+@end lilypond
+
+
@item Using the @TeX{} no longer requires linking or dynamically
opening the kpathsea library, making the backend more easily usable on
various systems.
@item The horizontal location of rehearsal marks can be adjusted by
setting the @code{rehearsalMarkAlignSymbol} property,

Texts over multi measure rests can stretch the corresponding measure,

specify tie formatting

Formatting of isolated, single ties has been improved. Now, ties avoid
staff lines, flags and dots, without compromising their shape.

With the @code{countPercentRepeats} property,
percent repeats get incremental numbers to indicate the accumulated repeat count.

\new Staff { c8[ c c c c c] c4 c2 r2 }
Endings of broken tuplet brackets can be tuned. For example, you can
add arrows to the brackets,

\override TupletBracket
#'edge-text = #(cons
