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 3RD PARTY BUGS: * ICE: spring-spacer::calcideal() * collision.cc: 138, g++ errors * Rational infty(HUGE_VAL) on glibc / w32 * Fix profiling. gprof bugreport? * read from mmap directly: bugreport to flex developers-> yy_scan_buffer in C++.. * (where are the) gcc compile warnings on linux PROJECTS * Spring_spacer: - write a faster Spring_spacer ( without matrices if possible ) - relate energybound to linelen unitspace fontsize etc. -used fixed fp * \header - revise lexer mode - write perl script for handling it into databases * emacs-mode for mudela * Makefile stuff: - have make dist produce tarball in out/ directory. - Use Automake - shared lib on Solaris too. - check libtool, automake - generate stuff in out/default, out/sun5-irix etc iso out/ and out-sun5/ * Add mudela to Rosegarden. * a musical dictionary. See Documentation/Vocab* - other languages - emacs forms mode for editing it. * chords - guitar chords - chord names - basso continuo - Syntax/parser - MIDI output? - typesetting * integrate midi-elts from mi2mu and lily * Debug logs: - derive lily_stream, Dstream, texstream from ostream? - indentable stream as baseclass for TeX stream, lily stream, Dstream. - use dstream feature in mi2mu * input converters - NIFF? - ABC? - SMDL? * add to MIDI output: - tempo change - repeat - slurs - dynamics etc. * grace notes - adapt for multiple font sizes. - make separate class for Grace_*_engravers (which is at Voice_gravs level) - move stem, beam, slur into baseclass to adapt for (fixed size) grace notes. * accidentals per Voice_group * Convert all ref/bib stuff into BibTeX. * Output class, handles : (smallish) - help text /(c) notice? - version line - warning /errors/progress - abort on error/warning; exit status - quiet/ignore-version options - logfile output * piano staff * elaborate Staff_side baseclass: - scripts - text - slur start/end * Output an output format independent (ofi) typeset file; and make ofi2 TeX, MusixTex, Display PostScript, PostScript, Ascii... interpreters. (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 PScore, Items, Spanners etc. into libmutype.a * Documentation - Doc Mutopia (Music To The People) - Doc (C) stuff of sheet music - a tutorial * separate Score_elem settings in user-settable (properties .. ) and non-user-settable part. Maybe use something like X-resources: "Staff=oboe*dir: 0", "Staff=*.Voice_group=solo*dir: 1" * TeX spanners , use texbeam.cc as an example (smallish) - Glissando - trill - bracket * Rewrite Stem, Beam and Rhythmic_grouping (hairy) - [c8. c32 c32] - interbeam height - doc on Rhythmic_grouping - general shaving on Beam and Stem - use plet grouping - abbreviations [c2 c2]1/2 - separate visual from rhythmic info even more - beams over bars * Redo font - rename mf fonts to avoid conflicts with musixtex - use own fonts/update musixtex fonts/find older (c)-less fonts - hack up mf sources for decent spacing info (and then read AFM/TFM directly, for text too) - use MF to generate rules. - rewrite : make a metafont iso font * Font support: - update 20 pt table - mixed fontsizes * lines: - Ledger lines, should be separate item: Ledger_lines, Ledger_lines - set different line sizes / thicknesses - stem down too far right - beam stem showthrough, inter beam sizes (french vs german style) * Collisions - bring Collision::do_pre_processing to haircutter - 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. SEVERELY LACKING: * SPEED! * multibar rests * markers * abbreviations c4=16 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) * \duration 8; e*2/3 * 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 }. ) * merge Atom and Symbol * lyric in staff (sharpsharp in staff, text below) * replace Score_elem member access by get()/set() methods, to enable future embedded code. * write Dynamic_line (to group dynamics horizontally) * write Rest_collision * use Real for y positions. * half-sharps, half-flats * adaptive accidental spacing. * unix style paths for LILYINCLUDE env * 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...) * parshape * 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 * Scricts: - stack scripts in chords: % fingering: footing: < a-4 c-2 g-1 > < c-\ltoe e-\lheel > - script-spacing - slur parts as a script - stackparameterised scripts for fingering and footing: % toe to bheel four to five % ^_u 4_5 % - % --|x-- --|x-- % --|--- --|--- % --|--- --|--- (where "to" is a tiny bow) DOC * all errors * hacking-HOWTO FUTURE * auxilliary file for caching info. * Text_crescendo * clean solution for staffsize in items. * revise calcideal * volta IDEAS * scoping in Lexer: do general id- assignments in mudela. ID '=' EXPR; * create libmudela, or liblily_frontend * move MIDI stuff (including Quantization) to a ANSI C libmidi library. * use an embedded language: Python 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. * design meta-language like TeX and Metafont * Global type registration. My_class * p = create_object( My_class ) Type t = get_type ( *p ); if ( t <= get_type( q )) .. * virtualise PCols to make encapsulated spacing problems * don't count bars which are not on first beat. * naming of Voice_group/Voice * benchmark band_matrices. * versioning stuff (cvt mudela, mudela, etc.) * a real convert-mudela * dots into separate item. * use String iso Text_def for lyrics. * use position 0 for center of staff iso bottom. * Klavarskribo? * return status on exit * lyrics in chords still fuck up. * rewire acknowledge_element() logic with a process_acknowledged() * pushgroup/popgroup * whole head on ledger line
