New features in 2.22 since 2.20
*******************************

   • ‘\compressFullBarRests’ has been renamed to
     ‘\compressEmptyMeasures’, to avoid possible confusion with
     ‘\compressMMRests’.  Likewise, ‘\expandFullBarRests’ has now become
     ‘\expandEmptyMeasures’.

   • A gradual change of vowel (or sustained consonant) may be indicated
     by adding a vowel transition between lyric syllables with the
     command ‘\vowelTransition’.
          { g'2 g' }
          \addlyrics { Ah \vowelTransition oh. }

   • LilyPond for Windows (MinGW) can handle Unicode filenames on
     Windows 10 1903 and above.

   • French beaming (‘\override Stem.french-beaming = ##t’) now
     _exactly_ behaves like standard (i.e., default) beaming in every
     respect (beam positioning and placement of any articulation,
     fingering, etc.).  The only remaining difference are inner stems
     not passing through beams.

   • Quarter-tone note names are now available in all the input
     languages.
          \language "català"
          \relative { do'4 sol' miqb re do1 }
          image of music

   • All input languages (‘\language’ statement) can be entered using
     their proper UTF-8 spelling (i.e., including special characters.
     The missing names ‘català’ and ‘português’ are available now in
     addition to the original names ‘catalan’ and ‘portugues’.

   • Setting ‘suggestAccidentals’ to ‘'cautionary’ turns only cautionary
     accidentals into ‘AccidentalSuggestion’s.  This can be used to
     distinguish between facsimile and editorial accidentals.
          \relative {
            \key d \minor
            d''4 cis8 b? cis2
            \set suggestAccidentals = ##t
            d4 cis8 b? cis2
            \set suggestAccidentals = #'cautionary
            d4 cis8 b? cis2

          }

   • The command ‘\ambitusAfter’ has been added.  It is used to move the
     ambitus to a different position.
          \new Staff \with {
            \consists Ambitus_engraver
          } \relative {
            \ambitusAfter key-signature
            \key d \major
            es'8 g bes cis d2
          }

   • A very short fermata and Henze variants of long and short fermatas
     have been added.
          {
            c'1\veryshortfermata
            c'2\henzeshortfermata c'\henzelongfermata
          }
          image of music

   • Fermatas and other articulations can now be added directly to
     multi-measure rests.  Therefore the command ‘\fermataMarkup’ is
     deprecated.
          {
            R1\fermata
            R->
            R\coda
          }

   • Swing and irregular rhythmic patterns may now be applied to music
     expressions made of regular durations, which may be used to render
     inequal rhythmic interpretation in MIDI.
          \include "swing.ly"
          <<
            \new Staff \with {
              instrumentName = "ordinary"
            } \repeat unfold 8 c'8
            \new Staff \with {
              instrumentName = "with swing"
            } \repeat unfold 4 \tripletFeel 8 { c'8 c' }
            \new Staff \with {
              instrumentName = "triplets"
            } \tuplet 3/2 4 \repeat unfold 12 c'8
          >>

   • Chords may now be automatically inverted or voiced with dropped
     notes.
          \chordmode {
            \dropNote 2 {
              c2:maj7 d:m7
            }
            \invertChords 1 d1:maj7
          }
          image of music

   • Some ukulele fretboard-diagrams have been fixed, and new diagrams
     have also been added.

   • Legacy chord naming functions ‘banter-chord-names’ and
     ‘jazz-chord-names’, have been removed from the main codebase, as
     have been the properties ‘chordNamesExceptionsFull’ and
     ‘chordNamesExceptionsPartial’.  As part of that rewrite, power
     chords are now included in the default exceptions; they will be
     printed correctly (with a superscript like all other chords) with
     no additional tweaks required, thereby removing the need for the
     ‘\\powerChords’ predefined command.  Anyone interested in the
     legacy functions may found a (somewhat working) copy of them in the
     ‘chord-names-alternative.ly’ snippet.

   • The ‘\\partcombine’ command, as well as all ‘partCombine’-prefixed
     commands, subroutines and property names, are now written with a
     capital C, such as ‘\\partCombine’, ‘\\partCombineApart’ etc.  The
     ‘\\autochange’ command is now also capitalized as ‘\\autoChange’.

   • The ‘New_fingering_engraver’ will now consider the
     ‘X-align-on-main-noteheads’ property of the
     ‘self-alignment-interface’.  If set to true (‘##t’), all fingerings
     oriented ‘up’ or ‘down’ will be arranged in a straight column and
     aligned on the noteheads on the correct side of the stem:
          {
            \set fingeringOrientations = #'(up)
            <e'-1 d''-4 e''-5>4 <a'-1 b'-2 fis''-5>
            \set fingeringOrientations = #'(down)
            <e'-1 d''-4 e''-5> <eis'-1 e''-4 fis''-5>
            \bar "."
            \override Fingering.X-align-on-main-noteheads = ##t
            \set fingeringOrientations = #'(up)
            <e'-1 d''-4 e''-5> <a'-1 b'-2 fis''-5>
            \set fingeringOrientations = #'(down)
            <e'-1 d''-4 e''-5> <eis'-1 e''-4 fis''-5>
          }

   • Skylines will now take account of the ‘rotation’ property of layout
     objects.  Rotating a crescendo hairpin by applying ‘\override
     Hairpin.rotation = #'(15 0 0)’, for instance, will now actually
     have influence on the skylines and thus help to enhance spacing.

   • Slight padding added between natural glyphs just touching at the
     corners in key cancellations.
          {
            \omit Staff.TimeSignature
            \key ces \major s1 \key c \major s
          }
          image of music

   • Skylines of boxes now reflect the actual box outline including
     rounded corners and rotation.
          #(ly:set-option 'debug-skylines #t)
          {
            b'1^\markup \scale #'(2 . 1)
                        \rotate #30
                        \override #'(corner-radius . 3)
                        \rounded-box \center-column { box skyline }
          }

   • Two new ornaments have been added.
          {
            c''2\slashturn c''\haydnturn
          }
          image of music

   • Font glyphs for 256th, 512th, and 1024th flags and rests have been
     added.

   • A dynamic command ‘\n’ for _niente_ has been added.

   • Fret-diagrams may now be printed left-handed, setting ‘handedness’
     to ‘LEFT’ (as a subproperty of ‘fret-diagram-details’).
          \markup
            \center-column {
              "C"
              "(left-handed)"
               \override #`(fret-diagram-details . ((handedness . ,LEFT)))
               \fret-diagram "6-x;5-3-3;4-2-2;3-o;2-1;1-o;"
            }
          image of music

   • The ‘output-classic-framework’ procedure and the ‘-dclip-systems’
     are now available with the ‘SVG’ backend.

   • An argument, ‘-dcrop’, has been added, formatting ‘SVG’ and ‘PDF’
     output without margins or page-breaks.
