I'm halfway through the auto-beaming redefinition.  I've got the new
definition scheme in place and it works.  I'm working on the
override ability now; I expect to have a patch up for approval in the
next two days.

We also have the new tablature support awaiting review; it could be
part of 2.14.

And Thomas (a new contributor) is working on a vastly-improved
chord name facility, which I hope to have available in the next
week or two.  This should also be part of 2.14.

Thanks,
