Comment(by wuthrich):

 One guess might be that I misinterpreted what the output of eclib is. I
 assumed that in line 553 in ell_modular_symbol.py that the output of

 {{{
 sage: from sage.libs.cremona.newforms import ECModularSymbol
 sage: E = EllipticCurve('11a1')
 sage: m = ECModularSymbol(E)
 sage: m(1/2)
 2
 }}}

 meant that 2 pi i \int_{r}^{0} f(z) dz = m(r) * Omega
 where f is the modular form and Omega = 1.2692 is the real period. Maybe
 this is not correct. Then the documentation in
 sage.libs.cremona.newforms.pyx should be improved.
