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
11 * strict separation between visual and auditive processing.

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

81 - remember more horizontal info than melodics:
90 - rename mf fonts to avoid conflicts with musixtex
92 - use own fonts/update musixtex fonts/find older (c)-less fonts
93 - hack up mf sources for decent spacing info (and then
94 read AFM/TFM directly, for text too)
97 - Ledger lines, should be separate item: Ledger_lines, Ledger_lines
98 - set different line sizes / thicknesses
99 - stem down too far right
100 - beam stem showthrough, inter beam sizes (french vs german style)
103 - bring Collision::do_pre_processing to haircutter
104 - left/right note balls should be handled by Collision:
105 < \multi 2; { \stem 1; <b c> } { <f as b> } >
108 - merge key{item} & localkey{item}?
109 - do conventional keys (C G A, F B E, a e fis, d as des, etc ),
110 besides lists of flats/sharps, possibly via declaration
112 - key undo: \key bes; .. . \key; should print natural
113 - special key: \key 'b bes bis';
114 - spacing, national styles?
117 * Duration -> Musical_duration, typedef Rational Duration?
121 tekst staat erg ver van notenbalken af
125 * spurious Weird stem size warnings
127 * fix mysterious Flex malloc bug
129 * should adjust stemlength for flag number.
131 * lilypond - -> crash
133 * standchen triool beam up/down
135 * (where are the) gcc compile warnings on linux
144 FURTHER FOR ORCHESTRAL SCORE:
148 * barnumbers, markers
150 * abbreviations c4=16
154 * c4 4 4 4 for c4 c4 c4 c4?
156 * neatly (and readably) expressing concurrent
161 * should have \require{package.ly} to read req'd packages.
173 * relative mode for pitch entering
175 * bracket (bracketplets)
179 * configure pitch_byte
183 * rest name configurable
187 * subtime with Subtle_reqs
191 * Do RTTI i.s.o. static_name(), name() and request-junk.
195 * A range for context errors (eg. mark both { and }. )
197 * lyric in staff (sharpsharp in staff, text below)
199 * fix Egler definitions ( see tex/eglerdefs.tex )
201 * replace Score_elem member access by get()/set() methods, to enable
202 future embedded code.
204 * --fast/--draft: leave out constraints
206 * write Dynamic_line (to group dynamics horizontally)
208 * write Rest_collision
210 * use Real for y positions.
212 * shared lib on Solaris too.
214 * bugreport to doc++ devel: struct not in class hier; public
217 * get rid of init_end;
219 * cleanup lily-proto.hh and proto.hh

237 * use dstream feature in mi2mu
239 * qtor, btor, mtor-> tor( QUIET_ver ), tor( DEBUG_ver ), etc.
240 - use tors feature in lily (?)
244 * declare notenametab?
246 * midi esp.: use I32 iso int where 32 bits are needed (or assumed...)

251 yy_scan_buffer in C++..
253 * binsearch/hash for identifiers
