+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).

+@code{\bookpart} blocks may be used to split a book into several parts,
