 @chapter New features in 1.9 since 1.8
 
 @itemize
+
+@item
+Each music expression can now be tagged, to make different printed
+versions from the same music expression.  In the following example,
+we see two versions of a piece of music, one for the full score, and
+one with cue notes for the instrumental part:
+
+@example
+< \tag #'part <
+  @{ c4 f2 g @}      % in the part, we have cue-notes  
+  \\ R1 >
+  \tag #'score R1  % in the score: only a rest
+>
+@end example
+ 
+The same can be applied to articulations, texts, etc.: they are
+made by prepending
+
+@example
+        -\tag #@var{your-tags} 
+@end example
+
+to an articulation, for example, 
+
+@example
+        c4-\tag #'with-fingerings -4 -\tag #'with-strings \6
+@end example
+
+This defines a note, which has a fingering and a string-number
+indication. 
+
+@item
+The settings for chord-fingering are more flexible. You can specify a
+list where fingerings may be placed, eg.
+
+@example
+       \property Voice.fingeringOrientations = #'(left down)
+@end example
+
+This will put the fingering for the lowest note below the chord, and the
+rest to the left.
+
+@item
+The script previously known as @file{ly2dvi} has been renamed to
+@file{lilypond}. The binary itself is now installed as
+@file{lilypond-bin}.
+
 @item
 Markup text (ie. general text formatting) may now be used for lyrics too. 
 
 @item
-Two new commands for grace notes have been added, @code{\accacciatura}
+Two new commands for grace notes have been added, @code{\acciaccatura}
 and @code{\appoggiatura},
 
 @example
   \appoggiatura f8 e4
-  \accacciatura g8 f4
+  \acciaccatura g8 f4
 @end example
 
 Both reflect the traditional meanings of acciaccatura and appogiatura,
