+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.

-**********************
-HKN buglist:
-
-\bar || ook dunne streepjes? Sluit de balk niet af! (soms met de
-ruimte van een hele maat erachter (bij unmatching staffs)
+ - separate visual from rhythmic info even more
+ - beams over bars
-noten staan vaak te dicht aan de rechterkant van de maatstreep.
+ * Redo fonts
+ - adapt for multiple font sizes.
-optie om nummers/markers boven maatstrepen te zetten
+ * 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)
-tekst staat erg ver van notenbalken af
+ * Collisions
+ - left/right note balls should be handled by Collision:
+ < \multi 2; { \stem 1; <b c> } { <f as b> } >
-waarom geen ; achter dingen in \paper? (\textwidth 180\mm)
-(sowieso: wanneer wel en geen ; ?)
+ * 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?
-Onduidelijk wanneer wel en geen \ voor een woord. Maak liever
-verplichte regels
+ * Support for TAB
+ - redo Notehead to allow digits as heads
+ - add a \tablature {} lexer mode for easy entering
-implementeren versieringen door duration *0 ofzo? (geeft nu assertion,
-zie duration0.ly)
+ * should adjust stemlength for flag number.
-Triolen enzo: het zou handig zijn als je het cijfer "3" ook _tussen_
-twee noten kon plaatsen. Dat is bijvoorbeeld nodig in
-c4*2/3 c8*2/3
+ * breaking:
+ - caching breakpoints
+ - saving them
+ - allowing users to set them.
+ - penalties
+ - specify number of lines
----------------\
-\bar "||" \meter 6/8; op het eind van de regel staat door elkaar
-gedrukt.
