+Unbeamed 128th notes are now supported:

+\relative c'' {

+@end lilypond

+@item
+Extending LilyPond's existing support for microtones, there are
+now arrowed accidentals for the notation of microtonal alterations.
+To use them, redefine the @code{glyph-name-alist} property of
+@code{Accidental} as in the following example which uses quartertones
+to typeset arrowed accidentals. Alternatively, it is possible to
+define separate names for all notes with arrowed accidentals (see
+@code{ly/makam.ly} for boilerplate code).
+
+@lilypond[quote]
+microAccs = #'((0 . "accidentals.natural")
+ (-1/2 . "accidentals.flat")
+ (1/2 . "accidentals.sharp")
+
+ (1 . "accidentals.doublesharp")
+ (-1 . "accidentals.flatflat")
+
+ (3/4 . "accidentals.sharp.arrowup")
+ (1/4 . "accidentals.sharp.arrowdown")
+ (-1/4 . "accidentals.flat.arrowup")
+ (-3/4 . "accidentals.flat.arrowdown"))

+Straight flags (used in old scores of e.g. Bach, but also in different form in
+modern scores of e.g. Stockhausen) are now implemented:
+@lilypond[quote]
+\relative c'' {
+ \override Stem #'flag = #modern-straight-flag
+ c,16 \acciaccatura {c'8} d4 d32
+ \bar":"
+ \override Stem #'flag = #old-straight-flag

@item
@code{\bookpart} blocks may be used to split a book into several parts,
separated by a page break, in order to ease the page breaking, or to use
@item
Nested contexts of the same type are now allowed.
This deprecates @code{InnerStaffGroup} and @code{InnerChoirStaff}.

+@lilypond[quote,relative=1]
\new StaffGroup <<
\new Staff { c1 }

@item
Percent repeat counters can be shown at regular intervals using the
context property @code{repeatCountVisibility}.
-@lilypond[relative=1]
+@lilypond[quote,relative=1]
{
\set countPercentRepeats = ##t
\set repeatCountVisibility = #(every-nth-repeat-count-visible 2)
- \repeat percent 8 { c4 d e f }
+ \repeat percent 6 { c4 d e f }
}
@end lilypond
In addition to the already existing @code{showLastLength} property,
@code{showFirstLength} can now be set as well, rendering only the first
measures of a piece. Both properties may be set at the same time:
-@lilypond[]
+@lilypond[quote]
showFirstLength = R1*2
showLastLength = R1*3
\relative c' { c1 d e f g a b c }
@item
Two variations on the default double repeat bar line are now available.
-@lilypond[]
+@lilypond[quote]
{
\set Score.doubleRepeatType = #":|.:"
\repeat volta 2 {
Four automatic accidentals rules have been added: @code{neo-modern},
@code{neo-modern-cautionary}, @code{dodecaphonic} and @code{teaching}.
The following example illustrates @code{neo-modern} rule.
-@lilypond[]
+@lilypond[quote]
notes = {

\relative c' {

Flags can now be generated with Scheme-code using the @code{'flag}
@code{Stem} grob property. Existing scores will work without change.

Harp pedalling diagrams were added:
-@lilypond[]
+@lilypond[quote]
\markup { \harp-pedal #"^v-|vv-o^" }
@end lilypond
@item
Predefined, user-configurable, transposable fret diagrams
are now available in the @code{FretBoards} context:
-@lilypond[]
+@lilypond[quote]
\include "predefined-guitar-fretboards.ly"
<<
\new ChordNames {
included, while such files as @code{makam-init.ly} or @code{gregorian-init.ly}
have been renamed to @code{makam.ly} or @code{gregorian.ly}.
+@item
+The ``tex'' and ``texstr'' backends have been removed. Font are now
+accessed via the fontconfig library; the Pango library is used to display
+text strings.
+
@item
Metronome marks can now also contain a textual description. The
duration and count (if given) are shown in parentheses after the text.

In figured bass you can now also use a backslash through a number to
indicate a raised 6th step.
-@lilypond[]

\new FiguredBass \figuremode { < 6\\ 5\\ > < 6/ > }
@end lilypond
@item
Arpeggios may now use ``parenthesis'' style brackets:
-@lilypond[relative=1]
+@lilypond[quote,relative=1]
\override Arpeggio #'stencil = #ly:arpeggio::brew-chord-slur
% Note: does not work for cross-staff arpeggios.
crescendos and other text spanners. The old syntax for setting
text on line spanners is no longer valid.

+@lilypond[quote]
\relative c'' {
\override Glissando #'(bound-details right text) = \markup { \center-align \bold down }
\override Glissando #'(bound-details right Y) = #-4
Notes or rests, such as a typical end note, that fill an entire
measure are preceded by some more space.

fractions. This allows some forms of microtonal music. For example,
Turkish makam music uses 1/9th tone alterations.

@item
Tie directions may be set with @code{^~} and @code{_~}.

Tablature now supports harmonics and slides:
-@lilypond[relative=1]
+@lilypond[quote,relative=1]
\new TabVoice {
<c g'\harmonic>4 d\2\glissando e2\2
}
Horizontal spacing now follows object outlines more accurately.
This allows tighter horizontal spacing.

Objects that belong outside of the staff are now positioned
automatically to avoid collisions.

Staves are spaced vertically using a skyline algorithm. This helps
prevent uneven vertical spacing.
