+\parallelMusic #'(voiceA voiceB voiceC) {
+ %% first bar group
+ r8 g'16[ c''] e''[ g' c'' e''] r8 g'16[ c''] e''[ g' c'' e''] |

+This feature was sponsored by Trevor Bača.
+

+
+@lilypond[]
+\header{

+
+#(set-default-paper-size "a7" 'landscape)
+\paper {
+ headsep = 0.0

+ }
+}
+@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[raggedright]
+\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 appearance. For example,
+
+@lilypond[raggedright]
+\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.
+
+@lilypond[raggedright]
+\relative {
+ \slurUp
+ \override TupletBracket #'bracket-visibility = ##f
+ \override TupletBracket #'staff-padding = ##f
+ \override Slur #'details #'region-size = #6
+
+ \times 2/3
+ {
+ c( \stemDown g' \stemNeutral c,)
+ }
+}
+@end lilypond
+
+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.
+
+@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]
+ <b d f g> ~ <b d f g>
+@end lilypond
+
+Here, the tie for the D is flipped, in spite the default rule for
+tie directions.
+
+This rewrite was sponsored by Steve Doonan.
+
+@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]
+<
+ \tweak #'font-size #3 c
+ \tweak #'color #red d
+ \tweak #'style #'cross g
+ \tweak #'duration-log #1 a
+>4
+@end lilypond
+
+This feature was sponsored by Sean Reed and Bertalan Fodor.
+
+@item Generic music functions may now also be used on articulations
+and chord elements, eg.
+
+@verbatim
+ < \displayMusic c
+ e-\keepWithTag #'bla -\tag #'bla ^2 >
+@end verbatim
+
+This feature was sponsored by Sean Reed and Bertalan Fodor.
+
+
@item Spaces between lyrics and distance between syllables with
hyphens may now be separately tuned through the
@code{LyricSpace} grob.
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,raggedright]
+ 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
Support for figured bass has been rewritten. Now it supports
-continuation lines, slashed figures, and its figures, brackets, and alignments may
-tuned separately.
+continuation lines, slashed figures, and its figures, brackets, and
+alignments may tuned separately.
