-In addition to the already existing @code{showLastLength} property,
-@code{showFirstLength} can now be set as well, rendering only the first
-measures of a piece. Both properties may be set at the same time:
-@lilypond[]
-showFirstLength = R1*2
-showLastLength = R1*3
-\relative c' { c1 d e f g a b c }

-The file extension for MIDI can be set using the command-line
-program default @code{midi-extension}. For Windows, the default
-extension has been changed to @code{.mid}.
-
-@item
-Two variations on the default double repeat bar line are now available.
-@lilypond[]

-@item
-Four automatic accidentals rules have been added: @code{neo-modern},
-@code{neo-modern-cautionary}, @code{dodecaphonic} and @code{teaching}.
-The following example illustrates @code{neo-modern} rule.
-@lilypond[]
-notes = {

-Flags can now be generated with Scheme-code using the @code{'flag}
-@code{Stem} grob property. Existing scores will work without change.

-Harp pedalling diagrams were added:
-
-@lilypond[]
-\markup { \harp-pedal #"^v-|vv-o^" }
-@end lilypond
-
-@item
-Predefined, user-configurable, transposable fret diagrams
-are now available in the @code{FretBoards} context:
-@lilypond[]
-\include "predefined-guitar-fretboards.ly"
-<<
- \new ChordNames {
- \chordmode {
- c1
- \transpose c e { c }
- }
- }
- \new FretBoards {
- \chordmode {
- c1
- \transpose c e { c }
- }
- }
->>
-@end lilypond
-
-@item
-The following syntax changes were made, in chronological order. In
-addition, fret diagram properties have been moved to
-@code{fret-diagram-details}, and the @code{#'style} property is
-used to select solid/dashed lines instead of @code{#'dash-fraction}.
-
-@example
-'break-align-symbol -> 'break-align-symbols
-scripts.caesura -> scripts.caesura.curved
-\setEasyHeads -> \easyHeadsOn
-\easyHeadsOff (new command)
-\fatText -> \textLengthOn
-\emptyText -> \textLengthOff
-\set hairpinToBarline -> \override Hairpin #'to-barline
-\compressMusic -> \scaleDurations
-\octave -> \octaveCheck
-\arpeggioUp -> \arpeggioArrowUp
-\arpeggioDown -> \arpeggioArrowDown
-\arpeggioNeutral -> \arpeggioNormal
-\setTextCresc -> \crescTextCresc
-\setTextDecresc -> \dimTextDecresc
-\setTextDecr -> \dimTextDecr
-\setTextDim -> \dimTextDim
-\setHairpinCresc -> \crescHairpin
-\setHairpinDecresc -> \dimHairpin
-\sustainUp -> \sustainOff
-\sustainDown -> \sustainOn
-\sostenutoDown -> \sostenutoOn
-\sostenutoUp -> \sostenutoOff
-'infinite-spacing-height -> 'extra-spacing-height
-#(set-octavation oct) -> \ottava #oct
-\put-adjacent markup axis dir markup -> \put-adjacent axis dir markup markup
-\pointAndClickOn (new command)
-\pointAndClickOff (new command)
-\center-align -> \center-column
-\hcenter -> \center-align
-printallheaders -> print-all-headers
-\bigger -> \larger (already existing command)
-@end example
-
-@noindent
-Moreover, some files in the @code{ly/} directory have been renamed;
-the *-init.ly filenames are now only used for files that are automatically
-included, while such files as @code{makam-init.ly} or @code{gregorian-init.ly}
-have been renamed to @code{makam.ly} or @code{gregorian.ly}.
-
-@item
-Metronome marks can now also contain a textual description. The
-duration and count (if given) are shown in parentheses after the text.
-
-@lilypond[]

- \tempo "Fast"
- c'4 c' c' c'

-In figured bass you can now also use a backslash through a number to
-indicate a raised 6th step.
-
-@lilypond[]
-\new FiguredBass \figuremode { < 6\\ 5\\ > < 6/ > }
-@end lilypond
-
-@item
-Arpeggios may now use ``parenthesis'' style brackets:
-
-@lilypond[relative=1]
-\override Arpeggio #'stencil = #ly:arpeggio::brew-chord-slur
-
-% Note: does not work for cross-staff arpeggios.
-\override Arpeggio #'X-extent = #ly:grob::stencil-width
-<c g' c>2\arpeggio ~ c
-@end lilypond
-
-@item
-Single-system scores are now naturally spaced instead of being
-stretched to fill the line width. This can be changed by setting
-@code{ragged-right = ##f}.
-
-@item
-Enclosing text within boxes with rounded corners is now possible,
-using the @code{\rounded-box} markup command.
-
-@item
-@command{lilypond-book} can run any program instead of @command{latex}
-to guess the line width, thanks to @code{--latex-program} command line
-option.
-
-@item
-Underlining is now possible with the @code{\underline} markup command.
-
-@item
-It is now possible to specify, using the @code{page-count} variable in
-the paper block, the number of pages that will be used.
-
-@item
-A new page breaking function, @code{ly:minimal-breaking}, is dedicated
-to books with many pages or a lot of text.
-
-@item
-A table of contents is included using @code{\markuplines \table-of-contents}.
-Elements are added to it using the @code{\tocItem} command.
-
-@item
-Text spreading over several pages is entered using the
-@code{\markuplines} keyword. Builtin markup list commands, such as
-@code{\justified-lines} or @code{\wordwrap-lines} may be used, and new
-ones created using the @code{define-markup-list-command} Scheme macro.
-
-@item
-Particular points of a book may be marked with the @code{\label}
-command. Then, the page where these points are placed can be
-referred to using the @code{\page-ref} markup command.
-
-@item
-Page breaking and page turning commands (@code{\pageBreak},
-@code{\noPageBreak}, etc.) can be used at top-level, between scores and
-top-level markups.
-
-@item
-The following options are now changed as a @code{-d} sub-option:
-@code{--backend}, @code{--safe}, @code{--preview} and
-@code{--no-pages} (which became @code{-dno-print-pages}). The @code{-b}
-option does not exist any more.
-
-@item
-Improved testing procedures now catch changes in CPU and memory
-performance, page layout, MIDI results and warnings. This helps to
-reduce the number of regression errors during development, resulting
-in more stable releases.
-
-See @uref{INSTALL.html#Testing-LilyPond} for more information.
-
-@item
-Nested properties, such as @code{'details} in @code{Slur}, can be
-reverted as well. The syntax for this is
-
+@item Intermediate .ps files which are created by LilyPond
+during compilation are now deleted by default. To keep them,
+add the line
@example
-\revert Slur #'(details closeness-factor)
+#(ly:set-option 'delete-intermediate-files #f)
@end example
+to your input files.
-@item
-All line spanners are more flexible now in the configuration of
-their end points. This includes glissando, voice followers, text
-crescendos and other text spanners. The old syntax for setting
-text on line spanners is no longer valid.
-
-@lilypond[]
+@item Dashed and dotted slurs, phrasing slurs, and ties
+have been made variable thickness, and
+partially dashed slurs are now available:
+@lilypond[quote]
\relative c'' {
- \override Glissando #'bound-details #'right #'text = \markup { \center-align \bold down }
- \override Glissando #'bound-details #'right #'Y = #-4
- \override Glissando #'bound-details #'right #'padding = #0.0
- \override Glissando #'bound-details #'left #'arrow = ##t
- \override Glissando #'bound-details #'left #'padding = #3.0
- \override Glissando #'style = #'trill
- \override Glissando #'springs-and-rods = #ly:spanner::set-spacing-rods
- \override Glissando #'minimum-length = #12

-This feature was sponsored by Trevor Bača.
-
-@item
-The environment variable @code{LILYPONDPREFIX} has been renamed
-@code{LILYPOND_DATADIR}.
-
-@item
-Notes or rests, such as a typical end note, that fill an entire
-measure are preceded by some more space.
-
-@lilypond[]
-\relative c' {
- \time 4/4
- s1
- c2. c4
- \time 3/4
- c2.
+@item An eyeglasses markup was added, incidating strongly to look at the
+conductor for instructions:
+@lilypond[quote]
+\relative c'' {
+ \mark \markup {\eyeglasses}
+ c4_\markup{\eyeglasses}
}
@end lilypond
@item
-All @code{\score}s in a lilypond-book fragment are now inserted
-into the document. Also, toplevel markups don't result in an entire
-page.
-
-@item
-Alterations (such as a sharp or flat) may now be arbitrary
-fractions. This allows some forms of microtonal music. For example,
-Turkish makam music uses 1/9th tone alterations.
-
-@lilypondfile{makam-example.ly}
-
-@item
-Tie directions may be set with @code{^~} and @code{_~}.
-
-@item
-Tablature now supports harmonics and slides:
-
-@lilypond[relative=1]
-\new TabVoice {
- <c g'\harmonic>4 d\2\glissando e2\2
+A snap-pizzicato (also known as Bartok-pizzicato) articulation was added:
+@lilypond[quote]
+\relative c'' {
+ c\snappizzicato
}
@end lilypond
-This feature was sponsored by Mike Amundsen
-
@item
-Horizontal spacing now follows object outlines more accurately.
-This allows tighter horizontal spacing.
-
-@lilypond[]
-{
- \stemUp
- c''4... ceses'! s16
+Tuplet number formatting functions are now available to print other fractions and to add notes to the number or fraction:
+@lilypond[quote]
+\relative c'' {
+ \once \override TupletNumber #'text = #(tuplet-number::non-default-tuplet-denominator-text 7)
+ \times 2/3 { c4. c4. c4. c4. } % begin verbatim
+
+ \once \override TupletNumber #'text = #(tuplet-number::non-default-tuplet-fraction-text 12 7)
+ \times 2/3 { c4. c4. c4. c4. }
+ \once \override TupletNumber #'text = #(tuplet-number::append-note-wrapper (tuplet-number::non-default-tuplet-fraction-text 12 7) "8")
+ \times 2/3 { c4. c4. c4. c4. }
+
+ \once \override TupletNumber #'text = #(tuplet-number::append-note-wrapper tuplet-number::calc-denominator-text "4")
+ \times 2/3 { c8 c8 c8 c8 c8 c8 }
+ \once \override TupletNumber #'text = #(tuplet-number::append-note-wrapper tuplet-number::calc-fraction-text "4")
+ \times 2/3 { c8 c8 c8 c8 c8 c8 }
+
+ \once \override TupletNumber #'text = #(tuplet-number::fraction-with-notes "4." "8")
+ \times 2/3 { c4. c4. c4. c4. }
+ \once \override TupletNumber #'text = #(tuplet-number::non-default-fraction-with-notes 12 "8" 4 "4")
+ \times 2/3 { c4. c4. c4. c4. }
