1 Features you cannot find in the doco as working, should be mentioned her.
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
11 * add mi2mu example output (.midi.ly and .gif) to website
17 * implement better breaking algorithm
21 * use Hungarian throughout code
23 * decent TeX page layout
25 * per staff item-widths [JCN]
29 * a Hands on tutorial [HKN]
32 * Output class, handles : (smallish)
33 - help text /(c) notice?
35 - warning /errors/progress
36 - abort on error/warning; exit status
37 - quiet/ignore-version options
40 * elaborate Staff_side baseclass:
45 * Output an output format independent (ofi) typeset file; and
46 make ofi2 TeX, MusixTex, PostScript, Ascii... interpreters. (difficult)
47 - poor man's ascii output possible?
48 - MusixTeX output possible? (would have to be done before break calc.)
50 - PostScript output (esp. Beams, Slurs, etc)
51 - Move PScore, Items, Spanners etc. into libmutype.a
54 * separate Score_elem settings in user-settable (properties
55 .. ) and non-user-settable part.
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)
90 - Ledger lines, should be separate item: Ledger_lines, Ledger_lines_reg
91 - set different line sizes / thicknesses
92 - stem down too far right
93 - beam stem showthrough, inter beam sizes (french vs german style)
96 - bring Collision::do_pre_processing to haircutter
97 - left/right note balls should be handled by Collision:
98 < \multivoice { \stem 1; <b c> } { <f as b> } >
101 - merge key{item} & localkey{item}?
102 - do conventional keys (C G A, F B E, a e fis, d as des, etc ),
103 besides lists of flats/sharps, possibly via declaration
105 - key undo: \key bes; .. . \key; should print natural
106 - special key: \key 'b bes bis';
107 - spacing, national styles?
110 * Duration -> Musical_duration, typedef Rational Duration?
112 **********************
115 noten staan vaak te dicht aan de rechterkant van de maatstreep.
117 tekst staat erg ver van notenbalken af
119 waarom geen ; achter dingen in \paper? (\textwidth 180\mm)
120 (sowieso: wanneer wel en geen ; ?)
122 Onduidelijk wanneer wel en geen \ voor een woord. Maak liever
129 * RPM permissions -> redhat!
131 * spurious Weird stem size warnings
133 * staccato dot positions.
137 * lilypond - -> crash
139 * standchen triool beam up/down
148 FURTHER FOR ORCHESTRAL SCORE:
152 * barnumbers, markers
154 * abbreviations c4=16
156 * doublebar "||", finishbar "|||" (or "||." ?)
160 * should have \require{package.ly} to read req'd packages.
162 * relative mode for pitch entering
164 * bracket (bracketplets)
168 * configure pitch_byte
172 * rest name configurable
176 * subtime with Subtle_reqs
180 * Do RTTI i.s.o. static_name(), name() and request-junk.
182 * add remove() methods to all items/spanners.
186 * replace Score_elem member access by get()/set() methods, to enable
187 future embedded code.
189 * --fast/--draft: leave out constraints
191 * write Dynamic_line (to group dynamics horizontally)
193 * write Rest_collision
195 * use Real for y positions.
197 * shared lib on Solaris too.
199 * bugreport to doc++ devel: struct not in class hier; public
202 * cleanup lily-proto.hh and proto.hh
204 * half-sharps, half-flats
206 * adaptive accidental spacing.
208 * Score_elem invisible_b_ flag
210 * unix style paths for LILYINCLUDE env
212 * indentable stream as baseclass for TeX stream, lily stream, Dstream.
214 * handle EOF graciously in error messages.
216 * caching Item/spanner dimensions.
218 * centered whole rest
220 * caching breakpoints / saving them.
222 * use dstream feature in mi2mu
224 * qtor, btor, mtor-> tor( QUIET_ver ), tor( DEBUG_ver ), etc.
225 - use tors feature in lily (?)
229 * declare notenametab?
231 * midi esp.: use I32 iso int where 32 bits are needed (or assumed...)
235 * read from mmap directly: bugreport to flex developers->
236 yy_scan_buffer in C++..
238 * binsearch/hash for identifiers
240 * stafftypes: voice names/ instrument names.
242 * Decent TeX titledefs (\tempo, \metron, etc. )
244 * C meter iso 4/4, idem for alla breve, etc.
246 * textspanner: center position
252 * caching of Register_group_register hierarchies.
254 * use (char *) iso. String for communication between lexer and
257 * configure idealspacing: arithmetic spacing
259 * LilyPond .deb. Other packaging methods?
264 * Score_elem structure.
268 * config of TeX macros
276 * auxilliary file for caching info.
278 * Reg_configure_request
280 * slur parts as a script
284 * put scripts on bars
288 * Junk Staff_column, and find the requests while walking the
291 * better beamslope calculation: QLP for beams?
295 * clean solution for staffsize in items.
302 * check out CORBA for Score_elems?
304 * derive PCol from Score_elem? More in Score_elems? Spacing?
306 * scoping in Lexer: do general id- assignments in mudela.
310 * create libmudela, or liblily_frontend
312 * move MIDI stuff (including Quantization) to a ANSI C libmidi library.
314 * use an embedded language: Python
320 * y -dims in internote?
322 * merge Atom and Symbol?
324 * merge common code of Item, Atom/Molecule
326 * Spacing_request for manually adjusting spacing
328 * Staff_group, Score_request_register.
330 * Meters/bars should be aligned, which is difficult if
331 we get different keychanges in different staffs.
333 * Horizontal_align item for meter,bar etc.
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 * (related with above) --simple-mudela option for lily,
347 to lily input files with one-voice simple mudela
350 * stack scripts in chords:
351 % fingering: footing:
352 < a-4 c-2 g-1 > < c-\ltoe e-\lheel >
354 * parameterised scripts for fingering and footing:
356 % toe to bheel four to five
362 (where "to" is a tiny bow)
364 * move towards incremental algorithms.
