Hi Massimiliano,
Do use 2.19.82. Although it's modestly termed 'unstable', it is
actually very very stable. This use of the term unstable is an open
source development convention more than anything in the context of
lilypond. The lilypodndreleases are remarkably stable in the last
couple of years. Invariably when I post such a comment the development
team will jump in say but they are unstable. Yes, but they are also
publicly available on the website and practice and experience shows
that you are pretty safe using them. I hammer 2.19.82 hard all day and
can't break it. It has many advantages over 2.18 especially if you are
doing the sort of work I imagine you are. Just my A$2 worth.
But these people also point out that the most "unstable" thing about the
development releases is the syntax. If you use them you have to be ready
to *occasionally* change minor things in the input files, but only in
the relatively rare cases where you stumble over them and the really
rare cases where convert-ly may not be able to fix them.
From my experience this has no real practical penalty, the only area
where I would consider this important would be if you provide some sort
of infrastructure where you might want to rely on long-term stability of
the syntax, like a web service or an editing infrastructure (and yes, we
do have this as an issue in Frescobaldi development that officially
supports the "latest stable release" of LilyPond.
