Lilypond 2.18.0 released! _December 29, 2013_
.............................................
We are proud to announce the release of GNU LilyPond 2.18.0. LilyPond
is a music engraving program devoted to producing the highest-quality
sheet music possible. It brings the aesthetics of traditionally
engraved music to computer printouts.
Among the numerous improvements and changes, the following might be
most visible:
• Many items are now positioned using their actual outline rather
than a rectangular bounding box. This greatly reduces the
occurrence of unsightly large gaps.
• Sets and overrides can now use the syntax
\override Voice.TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text = "rit."
instead of the previous
\override Voice.TextSpanner #'(bound-details left text) = "rit."
• Triplets with a given group length can now be written as
\tuplet 3/2 4 { c8 c c c c c }
instead of
\times 2/3 { c8 c c } \times 2/3 { c8 c c }
A full list of noteworthy new features is given in:

financial backing enabled one core developer, David Kastrup, to focus

We are proud to announce the release of GNU LilyPond 2.14. LilyPond is
a music engraving program, devoted to producing the highest-quality
sheet music possible. It brings the aesthetics of traditionally
engraved music to computer printouts.
Many improvements have been made in the past two and a half years
since the previous main stable version. A few major improvements are:
• LilyPond is now licensed under the GNU GPL v3 or higher.
• The vertical spacing engine has been drastically changed, making it
much more flexible and easier to control.
• Automatic beaming is now more flexible, and beam collisions are
avoided.
A full list of new features is given in:

LilyPond 2.5.6 was released. This is a "technology preview" release,
which means that it has all kinds of nifty features, but is not actually

remove things from the file, and the tweaks will still work, as long as
the tweaked notes remain in the place (ie. start at the same time-wise
and be part of the same context). Further attractions are: the gnome

LilyPond 2.3.16 was released. It fixes a couple of annoying bugs, and
has an important addition in the slur-formatter. Slurs that pass note
heads much closer than the average distance get an extra penalty. This
fixes a lot of difficult slurring cases. See input/regression/new-slur
for some examples. Please consider this release as a 3.0 pre-release so
try to find as many bugs as possible. A report including a small .ly
example can be filed at bug-lilypond@gnu.org In this case, a bug is
defined as something that the current 2.3 does worse than the latest 2.2
release. We want to be sure that no output will get uglier by upgrading
to 3.0, so that once 3.0 is out, nothing will hold users back in
switching. Old downloads and check out the changes in the

LilyPond 2.3.11 is out. This release basically is 2.3.10 with a few
annoying bugs fixed. Old downloads and check out the changes in

..............
LilyPond 2.3.10 is out. This release has a major clean-up of the
input/test/ directory. Many examples have been moved to the regression
test or manual, and the superfluous or outdated ones have been removed.
The directory has gone from 146 examples to 72 examples. That means
that we’re halfway cleaning it out. Incidentally, the manual has gone
from 200 to 220 pages. New features:
• Running trills now have their own spanner and event. They are
started and stopped with \startTrillSpan and \stopTrillSpan
• There is a new markup command ‘\postscript’ that takes a string
that is dumped as verbatim PostScript

LilyPond 2.3.9 is out. 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. I now consider LilyPond feature complete for a
3.0 release. Next on the TODO list is updating the manual, and after
that’s done we can release 3.0. The projected date for this to happen
is in about a month. Old downloads and check out the changes in

LilyPond 2.3.8 fixes a few minor bugs in the new slur code, and has
rewritten support for ledger lines. Now, in tight situations, ledger
lines will be shortened so they stay separate. This also required a
cleanup of the Ambitus implementation. Old downloads and check
out the changes in the ChangeLog
(http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/*checkout*/lilypond/lilypond/ChangeLog?rev=1.2395&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup).
July 19, 2004
.............
LilyPond 2.3.7 was released and has new exciting features! The slur
formatting has been rewritten. The new slur code works similar to the
Beam formatter: scores are assigned for all esthetic components of a
slur. A large number of combinations for begin and end points is then
tried out. Slurs will now also take into account collisions with staff
lines, scripts (like staccato and accent) and accidentals. In the
LilyPond emacs mode, the ‘|’ will now display the current beat within
the measure. Old downloads and check out the changes in the
