1 Features you cannot find in the doco as working, should be mentioned here.
3 This is an assorted collection of stuff that will be done, might be
4 done, or is an idea that I want to think about
6 Most of the items are marked in the code as well, with full explanation.
7 grep for TODO and ugh/ugr/urg
12 * make sure all ex's have a mudela-version
14 * notes almost touch barline: whitespace at the begin of the bar
15 should be at fixed at at least (about) one interline.
16 hack at spring-spacer.cc:662 doesn't work anymore
18 * do rest-collisions for Multi_measure_rests as well.
20 * split error/warning in error/warning/non_fatal_error
22 * add a Duration_convert member to Duration_iter to set parameters.
23 Junk global duration settings.

29 * document use of ly2dvi more prominently
33 * clean up abbrev/plet/beam/abbrevbeam/duration mess in parser.
35 * minimum length second part broken tie
37 * en-,discouraged linebreaking:
38 - handle DISALLOW < penalty > FORCE
39 - discourage breaking of slurs
44 * move all hard-coded constants and staffheight dependent to runtime,
45 i.e. init/params.ly. e.g.: stem length params, beam positions
47 * fix variable define/lookup parser global<->paper
49 * fix position of bar number
51 * fix position of brace in conjunction with bracket
53 * fix title/instrument placements; see input/test/title.ly

57 * add full cello suites to web site (kom op, Maarten!)
63 - abbreviation-beam -> (measured/unmeasured) tremolo
65 * libtoolize flowerlib
69 * robustify Beam (in case of no stems, 32nd notes)

79 - break-up heavily-nested score blocks
81 * disable spaces in TeX stuff
83 * handle ^C for tmp/file creation.
85 * dots & rest collisions.
87 * add a screenshot to the website. :)
95 * naming Mozarella, Madeira, Muella?
99 * the warning about the negative slur/tie length appears twice
102 * The `3' in the meter key is a one or two pixels too thin (at 600dpi)
105 * the tenuto script is too long and too thin
107 * the bracket is ugly (wings are too parabolic, should be more circular)
108 * better hshift (dots, distance, head dependent)
110 * stem len adjustable
114 - automatically add a \version if not present.
117 - fix convert-mudela -e *.ly ;
118 - convert-mudela -e empty.ly
121 * clefs (AG): The "8" should appear closer to the actual clef,
125 * give Items/Spanners access to unbroken originals
127 * generalised scopes for Parser/identifiers.
131 * scoping for properties
134 \multi 2 < { \stemup .. } { \stemdown .. } >

178 * xdvi: PS in magnifying glass.
180 * GNU patch 2.1: hardcoded limit of 1024 to the linelength
182 * GNU diff 2.7: diff -rN does not see a new directory with empty file
184 * GNU patch 2.1: <must find simple example> if patch chokes on a
185 hunk, or on allegedly unsorted hunks in a diff, it may stop
186 without a trace of failure (create .rej file, print error or
187 dump core) and just ignore any further diffs.

312 - do conventional keys (C G A, F B E, a e fis, d as des, etc ),
313 besides lists of flats/sharps, possibly via declaration
315 - key undo: \key bes; .. . \key; should print natural
316 - special key: \key bes 'b bis';
