+<title>LilyPond 2.10 now available</title>
+
+<h1>LilyPond version 2.10 available&mdash;10 years anniversary release</h1>
+
+Utrecht the Netherlands&mdash;November, 2006.
+<p>
+The initial inspiration for LilyPond came ten years ago when two
+musician friends grew disappointed with the bland and boring look of
+computer formatted scores.  Every musician prefers to read beautiful
+music, so couldn't we programmers solve that printing problem?
+<p>
+
+LilyPond just does that: it prints music in the best traditions of
+classical engraving with minimum fuss.  Don't waste time on tuning
+spacing, moving around symbols, or shaping slurs.  Impress friends and
+colleagues with sharp sheet music!
+<p>
+Check out LilyPond at <a href="http://lilypond.org"><tt>http://lilypond.org</tt></a>
+
+<p>
+We are proud to announce the 10-year anniversary release, LilyPond
+version 2.10.
+
+
+<h2>New stuff</h2>
+
+
+
+<ul>
+<li>Better page turns.
+<p>
+ Horizontal and vertical spacing is tuned simultaneously to put page
+ turns at rests or explicitly marked places.
+<li>Flat music export format.
+<p>
+A much simpler intermediate input/output format has been added. In the
+ long term, this will enable other programs to read LilyPond music.
+<li>
+  Small features and improvements.
+<p>
+  This release adds falls and doits, dashed barlines, al niente
+  hairpins, right hand fingerings for guitar, better formatting of
+  tied chords, automatic beaming and nested tuplets.  </ul>
+
+
+A full list of new features is at <tt><a
