LilyPond... music notation for everyone

LilyPond 2.14.0 released! June 5, 2011

We are proud to announce the release of GNU LilyPond 2.14. LilyPond is a music engraving program, devoted to producing the highest-quality sheet music possible. It brings the aesthetics of traditionally engraved music to computer printouts.

Many improvements have been made in the past two and a half years since the previous main stable version. A few major improvements are:

• LilyPond is now licensed under the GNU GPL v3 or higher.
• The vertical spacing engine has been drastically changed, making it much more flexible and easier to control.
• Automatic beaming is now more flexible, and beam collisions are avoided.

A full list of new features is given in:
