Notation Reference — Section Changes in 2.24
This page highlights Sections of the Lilypond Notation Reference that are
new in 2.24.0 or changed since 2.22.2.
Of course, there is a separate official description of the
Changes in 2.24
focusing on new features, but documentation can also include new explanations.
The idea here is that you will gradually learn what's new through your usual browsing
if you see which sections have changed in areas that interest you.
◀ Start your browsing on the left.
This is the usual table of contents except that it is fully expanded to show the hierarchy of all sections.
Colors distinguish the New Sections and the Changed Sections.
Font sizes show how big the changes are.
Links lead to the official documentation in another tab.
The panel below shows how many lines of Texinfo source were added, changed or deleted
in each section that was modified.
Sections with the most modifications are listed first.
It also uses your browsing history to indicate which new/changed sections you still haven't visited,
so you can use it as a reading checklist.

Caveats
|
-
Documentation sections that are generated automatically by the lilypond build process
(typically lists in an appendix)
are not available to this analysis, which is based on static source files.
Such sections are colored gray in the table of contents
but brighten when hovered over.
-
Very large changes may be due to extensive reformatting without significant change in content.
-
Division of a huge section into a several subsections
(e.g. by promoting simple headings into subsection declarations) may appear as a huge deletion in that section,
followed by the addition of several large new subsections, even though only a few lines of source were changed.
Consulting the "(add,chg,del)" statistics will reveal such cases.
-
Simple changes to the name of a section are usually detected,
but more complex changes may cause a mismatch, causing those sections to be listed as New in the new release
and Old/Obsolete in the old release.
Check the list of Old/Obsolete section names if you suspect such a mismatch.

Tips
|
- Use your browser's "find in page" (e.g. "Ctrl-F") to search the fully expanded table of contents.
All your matches will be highlighted until you do another search,
making it easy to scroll or step through the results.
-
Searches will cover both the table of contents on the left and the main page on the right.
So it's also a way to find the details on the right for sections you've found on the left.
-
Clicking on a link will bring up the official documentation for that section in another tab.
Alternatively, you can usually right click to open in a new window, allowing you to still see
the expanded table of contents in the original window as a visual guide.
