-**********************
-HKN buglist:
-
-\bar || ook dunne streepjes? Sluit de balk niet af! (soms met de
-ruimte van een hele maat erachter (bij unmatching staffs)
-
-Hele rusten ook in andere maatsoort dan 4/4 (en centreren in de maat)
-
-noten staan vaak te dicht aan de rechterkant van de maatstreep.
-
-optie om nummers/markers boven maatstrepen te zetten
-
-tekst staat erg ver van notenbalken af
-
-waarom geen ; achter dingen in \paper? (\textwidth 180\mm)
-(sowieso: wanneer wel en geen ; ?)
-
-Onduidelijk wanneer wel en geen \ voor een woord. Maak liever
-verplichte regels
-
-implementeren versieringen door duration *0 ofzo? (geeft nu assertion,
-zie duration0.ly)
-
-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
-
----------------\
-\bar "||" \meter 6/8; op het eind van de regel staat door elkaar
-gedrukt.
-****************
-

IDEAS
* move MIDI stuff (including Quantization) to a ANSI C libmidi library.
* use an embedded language: Python
- for :
- - Items/Spanners
- - Registers
+ for:
+ - Score_elems
+ - Engraver
+ - Translators
- Complex mudela?
- * y -dims in internote?
+ * y -dims in internote? Staff-space? X-dimensions?
- * hack up mf sources for decent spacing info (and then
- read AFM/TFM directly, for text too)
-
- * merge Atom and Symbol?
-
- * merge common code of Item, Atom/Molecule
* Spacing_request for manually adjusting spacing
- * Staff_group, Score_request_register.
-
- * SHIT: meters/bars should be aligned, which is difficult if
- we get different keychanges in different staffs.
-
* caching breakpoints
* #c <-> cis
* used fixedpoint arithmetic for min. energy.
- * default convert mudela-file.ly -> mudela-file.tex
- - rename {standchen,scsii-menuetto,...}.tex
+ * move towards incremental algorithms.
- * (related with above) --simple-mudela option for lily,
- to lily input files with one-voice simple mudela
- (no red tape)
+ * far fetched language ideas
+ - design meta-language like TeX and Metafont
+ - programming/macros input
- * stack scripts in chords:
- % fingering: footing:
- < a-4 c-2 g-1 > < c-\ltoe e-\lheel >
+ * Global type registration.
- * parameterised scripts for fingering and footing:
+ My_class * p = create_object( My_class )
+ Type t = get_type ( *p );
+ if ( t <= get_type( q ))
+ ..
- % toe to bheel four to five
- % ^_u 4_5
- % -
- % --|x-- --|x--
- % --|--- --|---
- % --|--- --|---
- (where "to" is a tiny bow)
+ * 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()
+ - construct Stem upon receiving Notehead. Junk Stem_req
+
+
+ * pushgroup/popgroup
+
+ * whole head on ledger line
- * move towards incremental algorithms.
