A package has been upgraded on tug.ctan.org and it should make its

- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
LilyPond is the GNU Project music typesetter.  LilyPond produces beautiful 
sheet music using a description file as input.

This release is focused on improved output quality. For some pieces, 
LilyPond produces publication quality output. To achieve this, we have 
completely overhauled the spacing engine, the font and the beaming code.

Version 1.6 also adds support for figured bass, tablature and (limited) 
ancient notation.
