New for specialist notation

• For orthogonality with other ancient clefs, five new mensural clefs are available: "mensural-f2", "mensural-f3", "mensural-f4" (same as "mensural-f"), "mensural-f5", "mensural-g1", "mensural-g2" (same as "mensural-g").
• The default time signature and accidental style in a PetrucciStaff context is now the same as in MensuralStaff.
• White mensural ligatures now support some rare ligatures (semibreves alone or in the middle), and allow tweaks to show some non-necessary stems.

  \score {
    \relative {
      \set Score.timing = ##f
      \set Score.measureBarType = #'()
      \override NoteHead.style = #'petrucci
      \override Staff.TimeSignature.style = #'mensural
      \clef "petrucci-c4"
      \[ a1 g f e \]
      \[ a1 g\longa \]
      \[ \once \override NoteHead.left-down-stem = ##t
         a\breve b
         \once \override NoteHead.right-down-stem = ##t
         g\longa \]
      \[ \once \override NoteHead.right-down-stem = ##t
         b\maxima
         \once \override NoteHead.right-up-stem = ##t
         g\longa \]
    }
    \layout {
      \context {
        \Voice
        \remove Ligature_bracket_engraver
        \consists Mensural_ligature_engraver
      }
    }
  }
  

  

• The use of the gregorian.ly is deprecated. While still working for backward compatibility, it should be replaced with a VaticanaScore context together with some manual \layout changes (if necessary): code like

  \include "gregorian.ly"
  
  \score {
    \new VaticanaStaff { ... }
  }
  

  should become

  \new VaticanaScore {
    \new VaticanaStaff { ... }
  }
  
  \layout {
    indent = 0
    ragged-last = ##t
  }
