LilyPond 1.7.8

[Han-Wen Nienhuys]

LilyPond 1.7.8 is available. This release updates all of the examples
to the new chord syntax. It contains fixes by Juergen for the cluster
code, and it also has a new feature:

        \applycontext #SCHEME-FUNCTION

allows you to call Scheme functions that read and modify translation
properties. Example:


        #(define (octavate-up context)
          (let* ( (c0 (ly:get-context-property context 'centralCPosition)) )

            (ly:set-context-property context 'centralCPosition (- c0 7))
        ))


        ...

        \notes {
           c4 c
           \context Staff \applycontext #octavate-up
           c c
        }
