I don't. Yes, fret diagrams are very important to guitar players.
But dodecaphonic accidentals are very important to twelve-tone
composers. Harp pedals are very important to harpists. Arbitrary
microtonal accidentals are very important to Turkish musicians, as
well as a vast number of people writing academic compositions.
At least a third of the items in the NEWS are "very important" to
one particular group of musicians; I really think that we should
only list items that are "very important" to *everybody* in the
release notes.
...
I really don't want to put down the amazing work you did on the
transposabl FretBoards... but actually, if I were to pick one
thing from that previous list, I'd go with the arbitrary
microtonal accidentals. That opens up the use of lilypond to a
huge number of extra people; guitarists could still get stuff done
with 'pond before the new FretBoard stuff.
Cheers,
