New features in 2.13 since 2.12
*******************************

   * LilyPond is now licensed under the GNU GPL v3+.

   * Chords can be repeated using the `q' shortcut:


          <c e g>8.-^ q16 q4-^

   * Paper margin defaults, as specified in
     `ly/paper-defaults-init.ly', apply to the default paper size (a4)
     and are automatically scaled according to the paper size chosen.

   * All combinations of `left-margin', `right-margin' and `line-width'
     work now.  There is no more need to set `line-width' manually
     unless you explicitly want to.

   * Support for using an alternative music font, such as Gonville, is
     now added.

   * In addition to the existing `\hspace' markup command, a new
     `\vspace' command has been added to provide an easy and flexible
     way to add vertical space in markups.

   * The direction of manual beams can be set with `^[' and `_['.

   * A version of the breve note head has been added with two vertical
     lines on each side.

   * Instrument names and vocal names now take into account the extent
     of system start delimiters in other staves for their positioning,
     resulting in improved default alignment for left-, center- and
     right-aligned names.

   * Braces in markup can now be selected by point size using the
     markup commands `\left-brace' and `\right-brace'.

   * Intermediate .ps files which are created by LilyPond during
     compilation are now deleted by default.  To keep them, add the
     following line to your input files:
     #(ly:set-option 'delete-intermediate-files #f)

   * Dashed and dotted slurs, phrasing slurs, and ties have been made
     variable thickness, and partially dashed slurs are now available:

   * An eyeglasses markup was added, indicating strongly to look at the
     conductor for instructions:

   * A snap-pizzicato (also known as Bartok-pizzicato) articulation was
     added:

   * Tuplet number formatting functions are now available to print
     other fractions and to add notes to the number or fraction:

   * FretBoards now have a chordChanges property to keep repeated
     FretBoard objects from being typeset.
