-New command-line option @code{--loglevel=LEVEL} to control how much output
+The construct @code{#@{ @dots{} #@}} can now be used not just for
+constructing sequential music lists, but also for single music events,
+void music expressions, post events, markups (mostly freeing users from
+having to use the @code{markup} macro), markup lists, number
+expressions, context definitions and modifications, and a few other
+things.  If it encloses nothing or only a single music event, it no
+longer returns a sequential music list but rather a void music
+expression or just the music event itself, respectively.
