LilyPond 1.9.7 released

1.9.7 is out.


   * I did another editing round on the manual,

   * Quarter tones are now supported. They are entered by suffixing
     `ih' for a half-sharp and `eh' for a half-flat. Hence, the
     following is an ascending list of pitches:

            ceses ceseh ces ceh c cih cis cisih cisis

   * The following constructs have been removed from the syntax:

            \duration #SCHEME-DURATION
            \pitch #SCHEME-PITCH
            \outputproperty FUNC SYMBOL = VALUE

     For `\outputproperty', the following may be substituted:

             \applyoutput #(outputproperty-compatibility FUNC
                            SYMBOL VALUE)

Although I really wanted to stabilize 1.9, the quarter tone
accidentals are a major change, and putting that in 2.0 too seemed a
better idea than introducing another intermediate release.
Besides, it was easy to do.


Enjoy!
