-*- text -*- Keywords: midi notation music typesetting gnu font engraving Subject: GNU LilyPond 1.2 released - The Music Typesetter GNU LilyPond - The Music Typesetter WHAT IS LilyPond? LilyPond is the GNU Project music typesetter. LilyPond produces beautiful sheet music using a high level description file as input. BROWSE Documentation and examples can be found on http://www.cs.uu.nl/~hanwen/lilypond/ DOWNLOAD Sources for this project are on ftp://ftp.cs.uu.nl/pub/GNU/LilyPond/v1.2/ (Europe) ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/lilypond/ Prepackaged i386 and PPC packages for both Debian and RedHat GNU are also available. WHAT'S NEW? * Large cleanups, enhanced design and GUILE integration for smaller memory footprint and more flexible code. * Direct output to PostScript (optional), PDFTeX or as GUILE script (default output still to plain TeX). * Convertors for ABC and MUP formats. * Font: now available as scalable PostScript. New glyphs: time signature, more note heads. * Enhanced input: semi-automatic beaming, (nested) tuplets, (nested) repeats, chordnames, automatic Lyrics durations. * Grace notes, volta brackets, multiple styles for note heads and time signatures, breathing signs, lyric extenders, cross staff beaming and slurring. * --safe option for the paranoid. * More elegant spacing. Text is spaced exactly. * Lots of bugfixes.
