We are proud to announce the release of GNU LilyPond 2.18.0 - the new stable
release. 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.
Among the numerous improvements and changes, the following might be most
visible:
* Many items are now positioned using their actual outline rather than a
rectangular bounding box. This greatly reduces the occurrence of unsightly
large gaps.
* Sets and overrides can now use a simpler syntax
* Triplets with a given group length can now be written using a more
user-friendly syntax
A full list of noteworthy new features is given in:

Great thanks go to the large number of LilyPond enthusiasts whose financial
backing enabled one core developer, David Kastrup, to focus exclusively on
LilyPond during the entire development cycle.
