2.1.7-3!!

[Kieren Richard MacMillan]

[ Mac OS X 10.2.8;  Lilypond 2.1.7-3 ]

Hello, all --

Thanks to the patient assistance of several listers (Stan, Matthias, 
etc.), I've got 2.1.7-3 (unstable) working on my machine: I LOVE IT!

To the development team:
1. Rounded stems look great.
2. Spacing after bar lines is much improved.
3. Accidental placement on chords looks much better (n.b., I still 
think the first accidental, esp. natural, is a hair too close to the 
note column, but that's a personal preference...)

Is it just me, or:
4. Has articulation (e.g., staccato) placement changed (i.e., farther 
from notehead)?
5. Has stem length changed (esp. on beamed notes)?

Best wishes,
Kieren.

p.s. All the other upgrades are probably very cool, but I haven't 
needed or run into them yet in what I'm currently engraving...
