Features you cannot find in the doco as working, should be mentioned here. This is an assorted collection of stuff that will be done, might be done, or is an idea that I want to think about Most of the items are marked in the code as well, with full explanation. grep for TODO and ugh/ugr/urg 0.2: * w32 blurb * make sure all ex's have a mudela-version * notes almost touch barline: whitespace at the begin of the bar should be at fixed at at least (about) one interline. hack at spring-spacer.cc:662 doesn't work anymore * do rest-collisions for Multi_measure_rests as well. * split error/warning in error/warning/non_fatal_error * add a Duration_convert member to Duration_iter to set parameters. Junk global duration settings. * deps for ly2dvi * fix .txt rules / make dist from freshly configured tar-ball * document use of ly2dvi more prominently * deprecate \duration * clean up abbrev/plet/beam/abbrevbeam/duration mess in parser. * minimum length second part broken tie * en-,discouraged linebreaking: - handle DISALLOW < penalty > FORCE - discourage breaking of slurs * multibar rest - symbol(s) * move all hard-coded constants and staffheight dependent to runtime, i.e. init/params.ly. e.g.: stem length params, beam positions * fix variable define/lookup parser global<->paper * fix position of bar number * fix position of brace in conjunction with bracket * fix title/instrument placements; see input/test/title.ly * <\voiceone c4. \voicetwo c4> * add full cello suites to web site (kom op, Maarten!) * rename - plet -> tuplet - grav -> engraver - measure -> bar - abbreviation-beam -> (measured/unmeasured) tremolo * libtoolize flowerlib * shared lib * robustify Beam (in case of no stems, 32nd notes) * check for groff / troff/ nroff et * use kpsepath to find all TeX dirs - configure.in - clean-fonts.sh * nicen examples: - remove all \multi - break-up heavily-nested score blocks * disable spaces in TeX stuff * handle ^C for tmp/file creation. * dots & rest collisions. * add a screenshot to the website. :) * documentation - introduction? - info? - LaTeX? - more manpages? * naming Mozarella, Madeira, Muella? * versioning for Feta * the warning about the negative slur/tie length appears twice which is irritating. * The `3' in the meter key is a one or two pixels too thin (at 600dpi) in the middle: * the tenuto script is too long and too thin * the bracket is ugly (wings are too parabolic, should be more circular) * better hshift (dots, distance, head dependent) * stem len adjustable STUFF * convert-mudela: - automatically add a \version if not present. - better parsing - make smarter - fix convert-mudela -e *.ly ; - convert-mudela -e empty.ly - redo in python. * clefs (AG): The "8" should appear closer to the actual clef, touching it. * give Items/Spanners access to unbroken originals * generalised scopes for Parser/identifiers. * speed up PS code. * scoping for properties { c4 \multi 2 < { \stemup .. } { \stemdown .. } > c2 } this modifies \stem for the c2 * emacs mudela-mode - should handle block comments too. - handle lexer modes (\header, \melodic, \lyric) etc. - indentation - notenames? - fontlock: \melodic \melodic * use properties for: - Text_style - default_octave - plet? - default_duration? - default abbreviation - Staff_sym size - default tempo. - font size - bartypes (get rid of derived Span_bar_engravers) - cadenza mode? - MIDI instrument - staff title * page handling: - PS output - optimal pagebreaking. * put errorlevel in Input class * AFM for font input? 3RD PARTY BUGS: * tried egcs 1.0.2: failed on lily/stem.cc -> flower/include/interval.hh should narrow down and send bug report * gcc 2.8.1: see ice and RESIZE_ICE * xdvi: PS in magnifying glass. * GNU patch 2.1: hardcoded limit of 1024 to the linelength * GNU diff 2.7: diff -rN does not see a new directory with empty file * GNU patch 2.1: if patch chokes on a hunk, or on allegedly unsorted hunks in a diff, it may stop without a trace of failure (create .rej file, print error or dump core) and just ignore any further diffs. PROJECTS * Unicode support? - 16 bit Strings - -u switch - detect of 16/8 bit files - examples to go with it. * Spring_spacer: - write a faster Spring_spacer (without matrices if possible) - use straight LP to find minimal "fitting force" - relate energybound to linelen unitspace fontsize etc. - used fixed point fp * \header - output header info to MIDI too. * Add mudela-output to Rosegarden. * a musical dictionary.

(difficult) - NIFF ? - Common Music Notation - PostScript output (esp. Beams, Slurs, etc) - Move all Score_elems, into libmutype.a * Documentation - Doc (C) stuff of sheet music - a better format? SGML? TeX? Info? - a tutorial * TeX spanners , use texbeam.cc as an example (smallish) - Glissando - trill * Rewrite Stem, Beam and Rhythmic_grouping (hairy) - [c8. c32 c32] - doc on Rhythmic_grouping - general shaving on Beam and Stem - use plet grouping - separate visual from rhythmic info even more - beams over bars * Redo fonts - adapt for multiple font sizes. * lines: - Ledger lines, should be separate item: Ledger_lines, Ledger_lines - set different line sizes / thicknesses - beam stem showthrough, inter beam sizes (french vs german style) * Collisions - left/right note balls should be handled by Collision: < \multi 2; { \stem 1; } { } > * Keys: - merge key{item} & localkey{item}? - do conventional keys (C G A, F B E, a e fis, d as des, etc ), besides lists of flats/sharps, possibly via declaration - key transposition. - key undo: \key bes; .. . \key; should print natural - special key: \key bes 'b bis'; - spacing, national styles? * Support for TAB - redo Notehead to allow digits as heads - add a \tablature {} lexer mode for easy entering * should adjust stemlength for flag number. * breaking: - caching breakpoints - saving them - penalties - specify number of lines * Rhythmic staff. * markers INPUTLANGUAGE * c4 4 4 4 for c4 c4 c4 c4? * neatly (and readably) expressing concurrent voices * 4 ? * Viola mode? @c c g e g for c g es g, @A c g e g for cis gis e gis * relative mode for pitch entering * bracket (bracketplets) * configure pitch_byte * rest name configurable * Raw request syntax SMALLISH PROJECTS * progress when creating MIDI elts. * A range for context errors (eg. mark both { and }. ) * lyric in staff (sharpsharp in staff, text below) * write Dynamic_line (to group dynamics horizontally) * use Real for all y positions. - use translate_axis( .. ,Y_AXIS) * half-sharps, half-flats * adaptive accidental spacing. * handle EOF graciously in error messages. oo * caching Item/spanner dimensions. * centered whole rest * qtor, btor, mtor-> tor( QUIET_ver ), tor( DEBUG_ver ), etc. - use tors feature in lily (?) * declare notenametab? * midi esp.: use I32 iso int where 32 bits are needed (or assumed...) * Flower types: - A decent scalar type - String hash - Pointer hash * binsearch/hash for identifiers * stafftypes: voice names/ instrument names. * TeX stuff: - Decent TeX titledefs (\tempo, \metron, etc. ) - decent TeX page layout * lily \tempo * C meter iso 4/4, idem for alla breve, etc. * textspanner: center position * Brackets * Scripts: - stack scripts in chords: % fingering: footing: < a-4 c-2 g-1 > < c-\ltoe e-\lheel > - script-spacing - slur parts as a script - stack parameterised scripts for fingering and footing: % toe to bheel four to five % ^_u 4_5 % - % --|x-- --|x-- % --|--- --|--- % --|--- --|--- (where "to" is a tiny bow) * auxilliary file for caching info. * Text_crescendo * clean solution for staffsize in items. * revise calcideal * volta IDEAS * Output data structures of Mudela in XML/SGML. * create libmudela, or liblily_frontend * move MIDI stuff (including Quantization) to a ANSI C libmidi library. * use an embedded language: Python, Scheme for: - Score_elems - Engraver - Translators - Complex mudela? * y -dims in internote?
