. Fontforge version comparison in configure script is broken, because
the numbers get too big for test(1). Comment it out, we know the
pkgsrc version is new enough.
. Do not install any emacs lisp files. Should be a separate package.
. Give path to Century New Schoolbook L fonts to configure script directly.
There seems to be some problem with fc-match in a sandbox (to be
investigated).
Bump PKGREVISION for PLIST change.
Changes created in cooperation with dillo@ and schmonz@ at pkgsrcCon 2008.
Changes are too numerous to mention.
N.B. I've removed the dependency on emacs, it was only used to create the
folder to install a single folder in and worse still, PLIST used
EMACS_LISPPREFIX but this wasn't used by Lilypond.
This represents a major version bump and with it many many improvements
and changes which are far to long to summarize here. One important change
is that this version works with gcc3.
Major news for the 1.4 releases:
DESIGN
* More pervasive GUILE integration resulting in improved design and
implementation. LilyPond is smaller, cleaner, more flexible, etc.

mechanism.

- Access to internal music representation
* New font selection scheme similar to Latex-NFSS.
* Flexible formatting mechanism for musical texts.

combined into a staff automatically, including Solo/a2
