New for specialist notation

• The chord name input x:1/x gets now rendered as ‘N.C./x’.

  \chords { d:1/d }
  

  

• White mensural ligatures now support final ascending longae facing backwards, obey tweaks in more cases, and handle errors more gracefully.

  \score {
    \new PetrucciStaff {
      \clef "petrucci-c4"
      \[ g\breve f \tweak ligature-pes ##t c'\longa \]
    }
  }
  

  

• Stanza numbers in lyrics are now created with a dedicated \stanza ... command. This replaces the former syntax \set stanza = ....

  \relative {
    c'4 c g' g
    a a g2
  }
  \addlyrics {
    \stanza "1."
    Twin -- kle, twin -- kle, lit -- tle star
  }
  \addlyrics {
    \stanza "2."
    When the bla -- zing sun is gone
  }
  

  

• Stanza numbers in lyrics can now be auto-repeated at the beginning of each line. To activate this feature, set the stanzaReminders property to #t:

  \new Voice \relative {
    \key e \minor
    b'4 b a g
    fis2 e \break
    b'4 cis d b
    e2 dis \break
    e4 g fis fis
    e1
  }
  \addlyrics {
    \stanza "1."
    \set stanzaReminders = ##t
    Je -- su, mei -- ne Freu -- de,
    mei -- nes Her -- zens Wei -- de,
    \set stanzaReminderText = "(1st)"
    Je -- su, mei -- ne Zier.
  }
  \addlyrics {
    \stanza "2."
    Un -- ter dei -- nem Schir -- men
    bin ich vor den Stür -- men
    \set stanzaReminders = ##t
    \set stanzaReminderText = #make-tiny-markup
    al -- ler Fein -- de frei.
  }
