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 0.2: * check for groff / troff/ nroff et * use kpsepath to find all TeX dirs - configure.in - clean-fonts.sh * forced breakpoints * nicen examples: - remove all \multi - break-up heavily-nested score blocks * --metafont * disable spaces in TeX stuff * height of dyns. * handle ^C for tmp/file creation. * WWW mirror/archive for the mailing lists. * dots & rest collisions. * add a screenshot to the website. :) * fix stdin input * documentation - introduction? - info? - LaTeX? - more manpages? * naming Mozarella, Madeira, Muella? * versioning for Feta * bf: abbrevs over whole note * spanner that is not spanned gives assert (). * 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: * better hshift (dots, distance, head dependent) * tie/slur dir & curvature * stem len adjustable * mindist for spanners STUFF * give Items/Spanners access to unbroken originals * scoping for properties { c4 \multi 2 < { \stemup .. } { \stemdown .. } > c2 } this modifies \stem for the c2 * 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: - papersizes - PS output - optimal pagebreaking. * put errorlevel in Input class * AFM for font input? 3RD PARTY BUGS: * gdb on RedHat 5 * xdvi: PS in magnifying glass. * Rational infty(HUGE_VAL) on glibc / w32 * Fix profiling. gprof bugreport? * GS: /undefined in draw_beam after XDVI magnification. * Rational global static var. 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. * Makefile stuff: - Use Automake - shared lib on Solaris too. - check libtool - generate stuff in out/default, out/sun5-irix etc iso out/ and out-sun5/ * Add mudela-output to Rosegarden. * a musical dictionary.

(difficult) - poor man's ascii output possible? - MusiXTeX output possible? (would have to be done before break calc.) - NIFF ? - Common Music Notation - PostScript output (esp. Beams, Slurs, etc) - Move all Score_elems, into libmutype.a * Documentation - Doc Mutopia (Music To The People) - 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 - bracket * 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 - allowing users to set them. - penalties - specify number of lines - set linelength per line * Rhythmic staff. * Baroque superstaff SEVERELY LACKING: * SPEED! * multibar rests * 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. * 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 abstract data structures associated with Mudela. * 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? Staff-space? X-dimensions? * Spacing_request for manually adjusting spacing * caching breakpoints * #c <-> cis * breath marks * used fixedpoint arithmetic for min. energy. * move towards incremental algorithms. * far fetched language ideas - design meta-language like TeX and Metafont - programming/macros input * Global type registration.
