I have used the latest Lilypond development versions to typeset some larger scores without any significant problems, so I would recommend to try the latest version 1.5.58. Of course there are some bugs, but at the moment I don't think there are more bugs than in the stable versions. Also, if you find a bug it's more likely to get fixed quickly in 1.5.xx than in 1.4.xx.
As far as I know, there is no fixed date for 1.6.0, but it should appear fairly soon. /Mats > Hello to everybody. > > I am Maurizio, and this is my first e-mail to this group.
