openSUSE Recommended Update: lilypond: version update to 2.17.26 ______________________________________________________________________________ Announcement ID: openSUSE-RU-2014:0079-1 Rating: moderate References: #466437 #568280 #646093 #733730 #851999 Affected Products: openSUSE 13.1 ______________________________________________________________________________ An update that has 5 recommended fixes can now be installed. Description: LilyPond was updated to 2.17.26: * Decimal numbers can now be written directly in music, without a hash sign. Together with the previous change in the way object properties are specified, the code to change the length of stems has changed from this: \override Stem #'length = #5.6 e' f' g' a' to this: \override Stem.length = 5.6 e' f' g' a' One has to write a digit on both sides of the dot - values like `4.' or `-.3' are not allowed. Decimal fractions are also not accepted in `\chordmode'. * A number of shorthands like `(', `)', `|', `[', `]', `~', `\(', `\)' and others can now freely be redefined like normal commands. An example would be "\\{" = ( "\\}" = ) "(" = \melisma ")" = \melismaEnd \new Staff << \relative c' { c8 \{ d e f \} % slurred g ( a b c ) % no slur, but with melisma c,1 \bar "|." } \addlyrics { Li -- ly -- pond. } >> [image of music] * The articulation shorthand for `\staccatissimo' has been renamed from `-|' to `-!'. * Tempo change ranges are now written as `\tempo 4 = 60 - 68' rather than `\tempo 4 = 60 ~ 68'. - updated to 2.17.23: * bugfixes - updated to 2.17.14: * The meaning of `instrumentTransposition' has been reversed. After \set instrumentTransposition = #{ b #} a written `c'' now sounds like `b'. Previously, this would have been the other way round. This and the following change should make dealing with transposing instruments more straightforward. * The music generated by `\set' and `\override' commands is no longer affected by `\transpose'. The main consequence is that `\transpose' will transpose audible/concert pitch and printed pitch by the same amount even when the transposed music contains `\transposition'. Previously, \transpose c' f' \transposition bes' was equivalent to `\transposition f''. Now it stays equivalent to `\transposition bes''. * Tuplets are now created with the `\tuplet' command, which takes a fraction `T/N' to specify that T notes are played in the time usually allowed for N. One `\tuplet' command can create several tuplet groups if their duration is typed after the fraction. \tuplet 3/2 { c8 d e } \tuplet 3/2 { f e d } c2 \tuplet 3/2 4 { c8 d e f e d } c2 [image of music] The `\times' command with its inverted fraction order `N/T' is still available. etc. see NEWS.txt - updated to version 2.17.9: * The `\clef' command supports optional octavation: \clef "treble_(8)" c2 c \clef "bass^[15]" c2 c * The LilyPond syntax of dot-separated words `Voice.Accidental' has been made interchangeable with `#'(Voice Accidental)', a Scheme list of symbols. As one result, code like \override Voice.TextSpanner #'(bound-details left text) = "rit." is now equivalent to \override Voice.TextSpanner bound-details.left.text = "rit." or even \override #'(Voice TextSpanner) bound-details.left.text = "rit." * Grob and grob property path no longer need to be specified as two separate arguments to commands like `\override' and `\revert', allowing for the syntax \override Voice.TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text = "rit." Since complementary music functions like `\overrideProperty' cannot support forms with and without separating space at the same time, using a single dotted path is now the preferred form. Specifying grob path and grob property path separately, currently still supported with `\override' and `\revert' for compatibility reasons, is deprecated. * Due to words now being accepted as symbol function arguments, the interfaces of `\accidentalStyle', `\alterBroken', `\footnote' and `\tweak' had to be redesigned where optional symbol arguments were involved. Please check the respective music function documentation for details. * Several commands now accept symbol lists (conveniently entered as dot-separated words) for various kinds of arguments. These include `\accidentalStyle', `\alterBroken', `\footnote', `\hide', `\omit', `\overrideProperty', `\shape', and `\tweak'. * The bar line user interface has changed. Bar glyphs now resemble the appearance of the bar line, so a left repeat sign has to be coded as `.|:'. The command `\defineBarLine' provides an easy way to define additional bar line styles. * Accidentals in the key signature may be printed in octaves other than their traditional positions, or in multiple octaves. - update to version 2.16.1 - This is a bugfix update see : http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/list?can=1&q=Fixed_ 2_16_1 - updated to stable release 2.18.0 [bnc#851999] * There is now a new context type called `NullVoice' which, while not appearing in the printed output, can be used to align lyrics. This can be particularly convenient when used in parallel with a `\partcombine' construct. * Several articulations can be put into a single variable or returned from an event function. * The baseline of score markups is now taken from the reference point (usually the middle of the staff) of the first bottom system rather than the top of the bounding rectangle. * LilyPond no longer automatically infers a `\defaultchild' context in a context definition with `\accepts' clauses. Any context definition without an explicit or inherited `\defaultchild' definition counts as a `Bottom' context and will be eligible for rhythmic events and overrides without causing the implicit creation of other contexts. Be sure to specify a `\defaultchild' for non-`Bottom' contexts when defining them from scratch. * There is now extensive support for both discant and bass accordion register symbols in the `scm accreg' module, see *note Accordion Registers: (lilypond-notation)Accordion Registers. * New commands `markLengthOn' and `markLengthOff' control the allowance of horizontal space for tempo and rehearsal marks. * Rehearsal marks at the beginning of a line are now placed to the right of the clef and key signature by default. As in previous versions, the `break-alignable-interface' controls the behavior. - see NEWS.txt for details Patch Instructions: To install this openSUSE Recommended Update use YaST online_update.
