I'm not sure on this.  Memory says 1.2.3 went out with the new canvas, but 
actually making it automatically expand was held off until after.  1.2.4 
might have gone out with such auto-expansion, but if so, it shouldn't have, 
because that was a new feature.  I think being able to draw segments or 
record past the end to expand the composition is (or is supposed to be) new 
for 1.3.

It bears checking to be sure.  If this has already been mentioned in previous 
release notes, then fine, but if it hasn't, it needs touting.

Here are some minor edits.  Otherwise this is great.  It makes me want to go 
out and try the new version of Rosegarden immediately.

* You can now create tracks identified with particular real-world
  performance instruments, so that new segments subsequently created on those
  tracks inherit the right clef, transposition and note range for each
  instrument (notes outside that range are displayed in a different colour in
  the notation editor).  A database of around 300 instruments is included,
  courtesy of Erik Magnus Johansson of Eolin KB
  (http://www.kandav.com/eolin/).

* You can now enter special directives in the notation editor
  that will be interpreted when creating LilyPond output, to achieve
  effects that are possible in LilyPond but not yet supported in
  Rosegarden (glissandi, arpeggios, segno/coda etc).

* Lilypond export now supports LilyPond 2.8 and has a new feature to
  merge multiple staffs as voices into one LilyPond staff, a new option to
  group staffs with a system bracket, as well as a huge number of bug fixes
  and performance improvements, which have tremendously improved the
  reliability and usefulness of the export engine.

* You can choose to display the parameter boxes in a tabbed layout
  as an alternative to the default vertical stack.  In the tabbed layout, you
  can now display a much greater number of MIDI controllers than was
  previously possible.
