LilyPond 1.7.8

LilyPond 1.7.8 is available. This release updates all of the examples
to the new chord syntax. It contains fixes by Juergen for the cluster
code, and it also has a new feature:

	\applycontext #SCHEME-FUNCTION

allows you to call Scheme functions that read and modify translation
properties. Example:


	#(define (octavate-up context)
	  (let* ( (c0 (ly:get-context-property context 'centralCPosition)) )

	    (ly:set-context-property context 'centralCPosition (- c0 7))
	))


	...

	\notes {
	   c4 c
	   \context Staff \applycontext #octavate-up
	   c c
	}
