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
9 * versioning stuff (cvt mudela, mudela, etc.)
11 * get rid of gif files.
13 * set_midi_channel/staff() out of performer.
15 * dots into separate item.
17 * use String iso Text_def for lyrics.
19 * use position 0 for center of staff iso bottom.
21 * return status on exit
23 * lyrics in chords still fuck up.
25 * rewire acknowledge_element() logic with a process_acknowledged()
27 * progress when creating MIDI elts.
31 * whole head on ledger line
35 * implement better breaking algorithm
39 * decent TeX page layout
52 - adapt for multiple font sizes.
53 - make separate class for Grace_*_engravers
54 (which is at Voice_gravs level)
55 - move stem, beam, slur into baseclass to adapt for (fixed
58 * accidentals per Voice_group
60 * Convert all ref/bib stuff into BibTeX.
62 * Output class, handles : (smallish)
63 - help text /(c) notice?
65 - warning /errors/progress
66 - abort on error/warning; exit status
67 - quiet/ignore-version options

75 * Output an output format independent (ofi) typeset file; and
76 make ofi2 TeX, MusixTex, PostScript, Ascii... interpreters. (difficult)
77 - poor man's ascii output possible?
78 - MusixTeX output possible? (would have to be done before break calc.)

82 - Move PScore, Items, Spanners etc. into libmutype.a
84 * separate Score_elem settings in user-settable (properties
85 .. ) and non-user-settable part. Maybe use something like X-resources:
86 "Staff=oboe*dir: 0", "Staff=*.Voice_group=solo*dir: 1"
88 * TeX spanners , use texbeam.cc as an example (smallish)

100 - separate visual from rhythmic info even more
105 - rename mf fonts to avoid conflicts with musixtex
106 - use own fonts/update musixtex fonts/find older (c)-less fonts
107 - hack up mf sources for decent spacing info (and then
108 read AFM/TFM directly, for text too)
109 - use MF to generate rules.
110 - rewrite : make a metafont iso font
113 - Ledger lines, should be separate item: Ledger_lines, Ledger_lines
114 - set different line sizes / thicknesses
115 - stem down too far right
116 - beam stem showthrough, inter beam sizes (french vs german style)
119 - bring Collision::do_pre_processing to haircutter
120 - left/right note balls should be handled by Collision:
121 < \multi 2; { \stem 1; <b c> } { <f as b> } >
124 - merge key{item} & localkey{item}?
125 - do conventional keys (C G A, F B E, a e fis, d as des, etc ),
126 besides lists of flats/sharps, possibly via declaration
128 - key undo: \key bes; .. . \key; should print natural
129 - special key: \key 'b bes bis';
130 - spacing, national styles?
133 * Duration -> Musical_duration, typedef Rational Duration?
137 * fix mysterious Flex malloc bug
139 * should adjust stemlength for flag number.
141 * lilypond - -> crash
143 * standchen triool beam up/down
145 * (where are the) gcc compile warnings on linux
153 * barnumbers, markers
155 * abbreviations c4=16
159 * c4 4 4 4 for c4 c4 c4 c4?
161 * neatly (and readably) expressing concurrent
166 * should have \require{package.ly} to read req'd packages.
178 * relative mode for pitch entering
180 * bracket (bracketplets)
184 * configure pitch_byte
188 * rest name configurable
194 * Do RTTI i.s.o. static_name(), name() and request-junk.
198 * A range for context errors (eg. mark both { and }. )
200 * lyric in staff (sharpsharp in staff, text below)
202 * fix Egler definitions ( see tex/eglerdefs.tex )
204 * replace Score_elem member access by get()/set() methods, to enable
205 future embedded code.
207 * --fast/--draft: leave out constraints
209 * write Dynamic_line (to group dynamics horizontally)
211 * write Rest_collision
213 * use Real for y positions.
215 * shared lib on Solaris too.
217 * bugreport to doc++ devel: struct not in class hier; public
220 * get rid of init_end;
222 * cleanup lily-proto.hh and proto.hh
224 * half-sharps, half-flats

243 - use tors feature in lily (?)
247 * declare notenametab?
249 * midi esp.: use I32 iso int where 32 bits are needed (or assumed...)
