5 Features you cannot find in the documentation as working, should be
6 mentioned here. This is an assorted collection of stuff that will be
7 done, might be done, or is an idea that we want to think about.
8 Most of the items are marked in the code as well
9 Grep -i for TODO, FIXME and ugh/ugr/urg.
12 . * use hash tabs iso. alist_ for elt property?
13 . * control paper-size/-file from commandline ?
14 lilypond --paper=paper16 foo.ly
15 lilypond --paper=paper20 foo.ly
16 lilypond --paper=paper-as9 foo.ly
17 . * entangle ly/* paper-params papersize stuff
19 . * change ) c4 to c4-)
20 . * internationalize GUILE msgs.
23 -- Take a piece of early music, and typeset it as closely as possible to
24 the original edition. This means: moveable clefs, sometimes funny or no
25 time signatures, few or no bar lines, few or no ties, slurs or
26 phrasemarks, ornaments implied by the structure of the music, or
27 indicated by, e.g., one or more thick lines through the stem of a note
28 (Purcell and Farnaby both use this extensively, but with rather
29 different meanings). For Dowland's music it may also mean being able
30 to rotate one or more staves (but I can do this in LaTeX).
32 -- Add to this music a set of critical marks that:
33 * regularises clef, time and key signature.
34 * add slurs, phrase marks, articulation, etc.
35 * Halve or quarter the durations, so that minims become crotchets, say.
36 * add ornaments (mordents, trills, turns etc)
37 * add regular barlines (which sometimes will mean splitting a note
38 and adding a tie, e.g., in some of Byrd's music)
39 * Add footnotes to particular symbols, groups of notes, etc.
40 * When translating from chant notation, add a square bracket over a
41 group of notes to indicate a ligature in the original
43 * Discretionary sharp or flat signs, for Musica Ficta
45 -- print out both editions from the same source.
46 . * write smobifying howto.
47 . * put property test files in refman.
48 . * alignment within @itemize
50 . * junk dstream output.
51 . * Change website to be index to documentation.
52 . * \grace { c d } c1 in midi
53 . * \prop slurdir in grace notes
54 . * Make fingering and playing instructions Music_wrappers?
56 . * Must stop before this music ends:
58 . * input/test/grace.sly: wierd big spacing on grace notes
60 . * make a TODO.texi, like http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/ideas.html
61 . * make this file understandable for 3rd parties.
62 . * \accepts -> \acceptedby
63 . * context in embedded SCM errors.
64 . * acc at tied note after linebreak.
65 . * fontSize for time sigs and beams.
66 . * fix font-naming and selecting
67 . * add context information to warnings
69 waarschuwing: Kan niet beide uiteinden van bindingsboog vinden
71 pa.ly:33:23: waarschuwing: Schroot verzoek: `Span_req':
74 . * chord tonic: placement of accidental C#, Cb (from scm and C++)
75 . * note head on stem err msg in dutch.
76 . * why need to run -C mf twice?
77 . * here's no difference at all in output. When either is jacked up to 7.0,
78 everything works and matches up; when either is set just a bit above the
79 default 5.0 (5.4 is what I was hoping to use), stems miss note heads. So
80 it's some sort of a numerical (truncation/roundoff) problem.
82 . * fix #'margin-shape; setting indent to 0 with \shape fails
83 . * Fixed size staff/system heights;
84 . * ly2dvi : don't repeat opus if same.
85 . * hara kiri _8 clef.
89 . * Added StaffContents and RhythmicStaffContents context, they are
90 between Staff (which groups the elements), and generates the Staff
91 level elements (key, clef, meter, etc). This construction makes
92 \consistsend redundant
95 - if I change the property minVerticalAlign in a multi staff score with
96 lyrics the change affects the lyrics too. I would like the change to
98 - after the leading measure in the above mentioned score I want a double
99 bar line fully drawn across the staves and after that keep to the
100 ChoirStaff bar line types in the rest of the scores
101 . * Write script that uses --find-old-relative to do auto relativization.
105 . * \$ and $ identifier syntax in examples.
106 . * Key_engraver, Local_key_item
107 . * Think of comprehensive solution for "if (grace_b == self_grace_b_)"
108 . * String[String.length] doesn't trap.
109 . * Rhythmic_column and interaction stem/rhythmic_column/note_head/dots.
112 . * Lookup::text -> needs to be TeX independent.
113 . * junk Music_iterator::first_b_
116 . * half-sharps, half-flats
117 . * adaptive accidental spacing.
118 . * accidentals closer to note head
122 . * [c8. c16 c16 c16] in 6/8 timesig.
123 . * Rewrite Stem, Beam (hairy)
124 . * beams over barlines
125 . * autoBeamMelisma: if I explicitly beam notes in a staff with auto
126 beaming disabled I would like to have these beams also to be
128 . * The stemLength property should affect also beamed stems.
129 . * staffside spanner (crescendo!) along with staffswitch.
130 . * * auto melismaBusy for beams.
136 . * \time forces keysig?
139 . * We need feta-din*.mf files for more sizes than 10.
140 . * align left edge of broken tuplet-spanner (have a test case?)
141 . * fix dynamics decently, ie. use kerning & ligatures.
142 . * key restorations & repeats
143 . * paperXX.ly \quartwidth, font setting not up to date. (Should read from AFM?)
144 . *In Caro Mio Ben, bar 8, there's a syllable that starts on a note, and
145 ends on a pair of grace notes. Standard practice is to mark this with
146 a slur starting on the main note and ending on the grace note, so a
147 singer knows where to break the words.
149 In bar 27, there's a crescendo that's supposed to start at the start
150 of the grace notes and extend to the note after the grace notes.
151 . * 4. Lyrics and grace sections don't go too well together.
152 The words are aligned with the main note, not the start of the
153 grace note. This is usually wrong, but is sometimes right.
154 . * rhythmic staff & accidentals.
155 . * use melismaBusy in Lyric context to typeset melismata correctly.
156 . * ly2dvi/lilypond logfile.
157 . * hang Item on Spanner
158 . * do --safe for PS output?
160 . * collision of lyrics with span_bars. See star-spangled.
161 . * It is impossible to typeset two textual scripts that are stacked
162 on top of each other and avoids note collisions and at the same
163 time are typeset with different textStyle. I tried to move around
164 the text_engraver and other engravers between Voice and Thread
165 but the granularity is not fine enough, the scripts have to
166 share the same engraver in order to be get correct vertical
167 position but than they cannot have different style.
168 In my opinion, all scripts that share the same staff, should
169 be stacked vertically, avoiding collisions with the notes
173 . * don't shorten stems/staffs closer to each other.
174 . * to space the staffs/staffgroups contained in the score.
176 . * Abstraction for engravers:
177 . * make "in-between" engraver (Tie)
178 . * make wide_spanner_engraver (line_group_spanner, staff_symbol)
179 . * store req -> element, element -> element causes for warnings
180 . * My wish list for lyrics. I dream of a time when I will have enough time to
181 become familiar enough with the source code to be able to implement some of
182 these myself, but I don't know when that will be, so I thought I'd "publish"
183 my suggestions in case someone else is in a position to give them some
184 priority. Otherwise, perhaps they could go on the todo list?
186 If any of these are already implemented, please let me what the syntax is to
189 1. Stanza numbering. Numbering at the beginning of a song with the number
190 set to the left of the first note. It would also be nice (but not as
191 important) to be able to have some form of automatic numbering at the
192 beginning of each new line. This would make it easier to follow songs with a
193 large number of stanzas.
195 3. Notes centred above/below lyrics rather than left-aligned.
197 4. It would be very nice to be able to build some kind of phrasing into the
198 lyrics of hymns, etc, so that the first words of a phrase are left aligned
199 with each other, the last words are right aligned, and the words in between
202 5. In a song, with (say) four stanzas and a chorus, it would be nice to be
203 able to vertically align the chorus midway between the staves.
205 6. It would be nice to be able to put vertical brackets either side of a
206 repeated section with different words for each repeat.
207 . * Give # lines in linebreaking.
209 . * rewrite context defs using Scheme
210 . * junk TeX specifics from internal code.
211 . * \selectmusic to cut pieces from music.
212 . * formatting of input stuff.
214 . * Align_element::padding ?
215 . * use streambufs and iostream
216 to provide IO handling for TeX stream, mudela stream, data-file.
217 . * seriously buffer TeX output (do profile of writing .5 mb TeX file.)
218 . * uniformise recent feta contributions.
219 . * bigger and fatter 4/4 C
220 . * relative mode for midi2ly
221 . * junking \skip req in lyrics
222 . * midi2ly empty staffs.
223 . * use Fourier transformation for rhythmic quantisation.
224 . * horizontal centering of dynamics
225 . * $DEPENDENCIES_OUTPUT support
226 . * turn slope-damping on/off
227 . * sort out directory stuff.
229 . * -I option per filetype?
231 . * declaring Performers
232 . * text-items clash with stems/beams
233 . * --include, -I option for ly2dvi (pass on to lily)
234 . * fix placement of beam-less abbrev
235 . * Musical_pitch (analogous to Duration and Rhythmic_req)
236 think about, analogous to pitch:
237 * { a4 a16 } c <-- duration of c?
238 * < a4 b8 > c <-- duration of c?
240 . * do rest-collisions for Multi_measure_rests as well.
241 . * split error/warning in error/warning/non_fatal_error
242 . * discourage breaking of slurs
243 . * fix variable define/lookup parser global<->paper
244 . * fix title/instrument placements; see input/test/title.ly
245 . * <\voiceone c4. \voicetwo c4>
246 . * I'd like to change the \repetitions command to Jan's suggested
247 syntax: \repeat "repeatsymbol" 2 {...}, but I'm not sure that
248 I understand the implementation of repeats well enough.
249 . * add mudela-book-doc source to webstie.
250 . * fix singleStaffBracket
251 . * move paper vars into engraver properties
252 . * add new glyphs to font.ly
253 . * more intelligent file searching
254 . * disable spaces in TeX stuff
255 . * handle ^C for tmp/file creation.
256 . * make LilyPond RPM fully relocatable
257 . * didot / big point.
258 . * clefs (AG): The "8" should appear closer to the actual clef,
260 . * put errorlevel in Input class
261 . * junk nesting slurs
265 . * the bracket is ugly (wings are too parabolic, should be more circular)
266 . * fix accordion turning paths.
267 . * versioning for Feta
268 . * rewrite dynamic signs. They're kind of spaghetti now.
269 . * The `3' in the meter key is a one or two pixels too thin (at 600dpi)
271 . * design macro for penstroke with rounded endings
272 . * timesig C: fat yet less curved. Check out relations.
273 . * design decent macro for bulbed endings
274 . * printer dependencies.
277 . * work out sizes of character fonts.
279 . * piano pedals: Ped/*
280 . * coda signs: Segno, O+
281 . * glissando, arpeggio
283 . * include important spacing dims in fetalog
284 . * scalability: use blot_diameter everywhere, make font chubbier for
288 . * UMR: Uninitialized memory read
289 This is occurring while in:

296 Reading 4 bytes from 0xefffeca8 on the stack.
297 Address 0xefffeca8 is 728 bytes below frame pointer in function
298 . * patch: don't touch timestamp if all patches fail.
299 . * MetaPost: should not generate setgray for unfill
301 f = fopen ("/dev/null", "r")
306 . * stack scripts in chords:
307 % fingering: footing:
308 < a-4 c-2 g-1 > < c-\ltoe e-\lheel >
310 . * slur parts as a script
311 . * stack parameterised scripts for fingering and footing:
316 . * convert-mudela -e empty.ly
318 . * emacs mudela-mode
319 . * should handle block comments too.
320 . * handle lexer modes (\header, \melodic, \lyric) etc.
323 . * fontlock: \melodic \melodic
325 . * use properties for:
330 . * optimal pagebreaking.
332 . * internationalisation for input.
333 . * Unicode support? -> man 7 unicode
334 . * (The explanation below is mostly intended for Han-Wen and Jan)
