The important change is that lilypond +now once-again directly runs the binary. The old wrapper script has +been renamed to lilypond-latex.py, and should only be used for legacy +projects. The recommended route is either using lilypond directly +(with \book, you can have multiple movements within one document), or +to run lilypond-book with a LaTeX wrapper file. +This release also fixes a bunch of small errors.
