I suppose this is what causes bugs/chord-name-dim-symbol.ly. If not, this problem should be fixed as well. > - MacOS X doesn't get dynamic fonts > - drum notation is broken. > Any other pressing problems? There's nothing more that's strictly release-critical AFAIK, but you can consider these problems: - Midi is slightly more broken than before also (I think midi output worked better in 2.2 than in 2.4, but I don't know about any negative differences betw. 2.4 and 2.5). I don't think this is release-critical. - hangs-quote-grace.ly: This is a hang, but it occurs in 2.4 as well so it isn't strictly critical. - Two people complained already about progerror-stem-has-no-extent.ly. Could be worth fixing; just removing that progerror call could be OK for the stable branch. - slur-appoggiatura.ly: outstanding bug with no known good workaround. Occurs in 2.4 as well so not strictly critical. - Do a big grep -r 2.4 in e.g. documentation, this is sometimes forgotten in x.2n.0 releases. This list of issues is just based on what I have in the bug archive now, there could exist more problems.
