LilyPond 2.3.9

[Han-Wen Nienhuys]

LilyPond 2.3.9 is up.  The important change is that lilypond now
once-again directly runs the binary. The old wrapper script has been
renamed to lilypond-latex.py, and should only be used for legacy
projects. The recommended route is either using lilypond directly
(with \book, you can have multiple movements within one document), or
to run lilypond-book with a LaTeX wrapper file.

This release also fixes a bunch of small errors.  I now consider
LilyPond feature complete for a 3.0 release.  Next on the TODO list is
updating the manual, and after that's done we can release 3.0. The
projected date for this to happen is in about a month.


NEWS:

   * The melody  for a `\lyricsto' text can be changed during a melody.

   * The `\lyricsto' keyword now automatically sets `\lyrics'.

   * The LilyPond binary  now supports output options `--dvi' `--png'
     `--ps' `--pdf' and `--preview'.  The old wrapper script for LaTeX
     has been renamed to `lilypond-latex'.
