 LilyPond 2.19.3 released _March 2, 2014_
 ........................................
 
 We are happy to announce the release of LilyPond 2.19.3.  This release
 includes a number of enhancements, and contains some work in progress.

 incomplete, and you may encounter bugs and crashes.  If you require a
 stable version of Lilypond, we recommend using the 2.18 version.
 
 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:

    Great thanks go to the large number of LilyPond enthusiasts whose
 financial backing enabled one core developer, David Kastrup, to focus
 exclusively on LilyPond during the entire development cycle.
