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
15 * implement better breaking algorithm
19 * use Hungarian throughout code
21 * decent TeX page layout
23 * enter script priority
25 * a Hands on tutorial [HKN]
29 * Convert all ref/bib stuff into BibTeX.
31 * Output class, handles : (smallish)
32 - help text /(c) notice?
34 - warning /errors/progress
35 - abort on error/warning; exit status
36 - quiet/ignore-version options
39 * elaborate Staff_side baseclass:
44 * Output an output format independent (ofi) typeset file; and
45 make ofi2 TeX, MusixTex, PostScript, Ascii... interpreters. (difficult)
46 - poor man's ascii output possible?
47 - MusixTeX output possible? (would have to be done before break calc.)
49 - Common Music Notation
50 - PostScript output (esp. Beams, Slurs, etc)
51 - Move PScore, Items, Spanners etc. into libmutype.a
53 * separate Score_elem settings in user-settable (properties
54 .. ) and non-user-settable part. Maybe use something like X-resources:
55 "Staff=oboe*dir: 0", "Staff=*.Voice_group=solo*dir: 1"
57 * TeX spanners , use texbeam.cc as an example (smallish)
62 * Rewrite Stem, Beam and Rhythmic_grouping (hairy)
65 - doc on Rhythmic_grouping
66 - general shaving on Beam and Stem
68 - abbreviations [c2 c2]1/2
69 - separate visual from rhythmic info even more
72 * Redo MIDI output to use Registers: (Difficult)
73 - remember more horizontal info than melodics:
82 - rename mf fonts to avoid conflicts with musixtex
84 - use own fonts/update musixtex fonts/find older (c)-less fonts
85 - hack up mf sources for decent spacing info (and then
86 read AFM/TFM directly, for text too)
89 - Ledger lines, should be separate item: Ledger_lines, Ledger_lines_reg
90 - set different line sizes / thicknesses
91 - stem down too far right
92 - beam stem showthrough, inter beam sizes (french vs german style)
95 - bring Collision::do_pre_processing to haircutter
96 - left/right note balls should be handled by Collision:
97 < \multi 2; { \stem 1; <b c> } { <f as b> } >
100 - merge key{item} & localkey{item}?
101 - do conventional keys (C G A, F B E, a e fis, d as des, etc ),
102 besides lists of flats/sharps, possibly via declaration
104 - key undo: \key bes; .. . \key; should print natural
105 - special key: \key 'b bes bis';
106 - spacing, national styles?
109 * Duration -> Musical_duration, typedef Rational Duration?
113 tekst staat erg ver van notenbalken af
115 Onduidelijk wanneer wel en geen \ voor een woord. Maak liever
120 * spurious Weird stem size warnings
122 * fix mysterious Flex malloc bug
124 * should adjust stemlength for flag number.
126 * lilypond - -> crash
130 * standchen triool beam up/down
132 * (where are the) gcc compile warnings on linux
141 FURTHER FOR ORCHESTRAL SCORE:
145 * barnumbers, markers
147 * abbreviations c4=16
151 * c4 4 4 4 for c4 c4 c4 c4?
153 * neatly (and readably) expressing concurrent
158 * should have \require{package.ly} to read req'd packages.
170 * relative mode for pitch entering
172 * bracket (bracketplets)
176 * configure pitch_byte
180 * rest name configurable
184 * subtime with Subtle_reqs
188 * Do RTTI i.s.o. static_name(), name() and request-junk.
192 * A range for context errors (eg. mark both { and }. )
194 * lyric in staff (sharpsharp in staff, text below)
196 * fix Egler definitions ( see tex/eglerdefs.tex )
198 * replace Score_elem member access by get()/set() methods, to enable
199 future embedded code.
201 * --fast/--draft: leave out constraints
203 * write Dynamic_line (to group dynamics horizontally)
205 * write Rest_collision
207 * use Real for y positions.
209 * shared lib on Solaris too.
211 * bugreport to doc++ devel: struct not in class hier; public
214 * get rid of init_end;
216 * cleanup lily-proto.hh and proto.hh
218 * half-sharps, half-flats
220 * adaptive accidental spacing.
222 * unix style paths for LILYINCLUDE env
224 * indentable stream as baseclass for TeX stream, lily stream, Dstream.
226 * handle EOF graciously in error messages.
228 * caching Item/spanner dimensions.
230 * centered whole rest
232 * caching breakpoints / saving them.
234 * use dstream feature in mi2mu
236 * qtor, btor, mtor-> tor( QUIET_ver ), tor( DEBUG_ver ), etc.
237 - use tors feature in lily (?)
241 * declare notenametab?
243 * midi esp.: use I32 iso int where 32 bits are needed (or assumed...)
247 * read from mmap directly: bugreport to flex developers->
248 yy_scan_buffer in C++..
250 * binsearch/hash for identifiers
252 * stafftypes: voice names/ instrument names.
254 * Decent TeX titledefs (\tempo, \metron, etc. )
256 * C meter iso 4/4, idem for alla breve, etc.
258 * textspanner: center position
264 * use (char *) iso. String for communication between lexer and
267 * configure idealspacing: arithmetic spacing
269 * LilyPond .deb. Other packaging methods?
274 * Score_elem structure.
278 * config of TeX macros
286 * auxilliary file for caching info.
288 * Reg_configure_request
290 * slur parts as a script
294 * put scripts on bars
298 * better beamslope calculation: QLP for beams?
302 * clean solution for staffsize in items.
309 * check out CORBA for Score_elems?
311 * derive PCol from Score_elem? More in Score_elems? Spacing?
313 * scoping in Lexer: do general id- assignments in mudela.
317 * create libmudela, or liblily_frontend
319 * move MIDI stuff (including Quantization) to a ANSI C libmidi library.
321 * use an embedded language: Python
327 * y -dims in internote?
329 * merge Atom and Symbol?
331 * merge common code of Item, Atom/Molecule
333 * Spacing_request for manually adjusting spacing
335 * caching breakpoints
341 * used fixedpoint arithmetic for min. energy.
343 * default convert mudela-file.ly -> mudela-file.tex
344 - rename {standchen,scsii-menuetto,...}.tex
346 * stack scripts in chords:
347 % fingering: footing:
348 < a-4 c-2 g-1 > < c-\ltoe e-\lheel >
350 * parameterised scripts for fingering and footing:
352 % toe to bheel four to five
358 (where "to" is a tiny bow)
360 * move towards incremental algorithms.
