Hi,

White mensural ligatures now conform more closely to renaissance usage
(on the input side maximae are allowed; the output has changed completely).
Basic ligatures are (should be) now OK;
dots, accidentals and invalid input are still problematic.

As explained in the description attached to the same post
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2005-02/msg00198.html),
writing a ligature is ambiguous, so the exact look of a ligature found
in a 500 year old manuscript may or may not be reproducable.
