Formatting of lyric syllables

2008-11-06 Thread Till Rettig

convert-ly -s shows the changes that convert-ly makes to a file between versions. You'll note that there are no syntax changes between 2.11.62 and 2.11.64. Additionally, you'll note on the lilypond front page, the changes in 2.11.62 and 2.11.63 are mostly documentation and translation
