+The documented syntax of @samp{lilypond} environments in the @LaTeX{}
+mode of @command{lilypond-book} has been changed to conform with
+standard @LaTeX{} syntax: options now come after the environment name:

+\begin@{lilypond@}[@var{options}] @dots{}

+
+The previous syntax with options after @samp{\begin} is still accepted
