* Improved design and implementation: Complete rewrite of the
internals: LilyPond is smaller, cleaner, more flexible, etc.
- More pervasive GUILE integration resulting in:
- Improved speed (undone for now, by .73 + .74),
with comparable memory footprint
- More tweakability using less memory with the new `property push'
mechanism.
- Improved robustness: Lily almost never crashes.
* New font selection scheme similar to Latex-NFSS.
* Medieval notation features: clefs, custodes
* Piano pedal support, Arpeggios, Glissandi
* MIDI: dynamics, tempo changes
* Typography: More elegant slurs, aligned dynamics, text crescendos,
* Better lyrics placement: Automatical phrasing, melisma alignment,
and stanza numbering.
* Part combining for orchestral scores and hymns: two voices are
combined into a staff automatically, including Solo/`a2
indications as appropriate.
* Chordnames are now configurable in every respect
* Includes an extensive glossary of musical terms.
* Many bugfixes.
* Finished ouverture Coriolan as full orchestral score example.
