LilyPond 2.5.3 is out

[Han-Wen Nienhuys]

2.5.3 is out

Highlights:

   * A new script, `\espressivo' has been added, for a combination of
     crescendo and decrescendo on a single note.

   * In markups, expressions stacked with `\column', `\center-align',
     etc, are not grouped with `< ... >' anymore, but with `{ ... }',
     eg:
          \markup \column {
            \line { first line }
            \line { second line }
          }

   * LilyPond will now avoid line breaks that cause long texts to stick
     outside of the page staff.

   * Grace notes following a main note, used to be entered by letting
     the grace notes follow a skip in a parallel expression, for
     example,


       << { d1 }
          { s2 \grace { c16[ d] } } >>
       c4

     This can now be shortened by doing

          \afterGrace { d1 } { c16[ d] }


Special thanks go to Arno Waschk and Nicolas Sceaux for their
contributions.
