ChordPro 6.030 has been released!

Highlights

• ABC and Lilypond embedding now use SVG (vector graphics) instead of pixmap images. This is very crisp at all sizes, and greatly reduces the size of the resultant PDF document.
  No additional tools are required for embedding, except the abc2svg and lilypond tools. The installer kits for MS Windows and MacOS already include the abc2svg tool.
• The ChordPro GUI (wxchordpro) has been extended with a Tasks menu that can be used to quickly select presets for a specific task. For example, to produce a PDF with only lyrics, or with keyboard diagrams instead of string diagrams. User presets can be added by placing small config files in a tasks folder under the CHORDPRO_LIB.

ChordPro functionality

• Directives and config to change the chorus appearance.
• Add support for SVG images. Allow pdf.fonts.XXX as fonts in SVG.
• Handle ABC and Lilypond embedding via SVG images. No more need for ImageMagick. Add 'staffsep' option for ABC embedding.
• Add 'omit' to delegates config.
• Infer chord inversions for keyboard.
• Use SVGPDF text callback to substitute missing flat/sharp glyphs.
• Trap missing font sizes (should not happen).

Breaking changes
