We are proud to announce the release of GNU LilyPond 2.16.0.
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.

Many improvements have been made in the past year since the
previous main stable version. A few major improvements are:

- Support for kievan square notation
- User and programming interfaces have greatly improved
- Music functions have become quite more versatile

A full list of new features is given in:
