     measure are preceded by some more space.

   * All `\score's in a lilypond-book fragment are now inserted into
     the document. Also, toplevel markups don't result in an entire
     page.

   * Alterations (such as a sharp and flat) may now be arbitrary
     fractions. This allows some forms of microtonal music.  For
     example, Turkish makam music uses 1/9th tone alterations.

   * Tie directions may be set with `^~' and `_~'

   * Horizontal spacing now follows object outlines more accurately.
     This allows tighter horizontal spacing.

   * Objects that belong outside of the staff are now positioned
     automatically to avoid collisions.

   * Staves are spaced vertically using a skyline algorithm. This helps
     to avoid uneven vertical spacing.
