4 * Added nested staffgroups/choirstaffs support
6 * Finished german-chords.ly and moved it to ly/
11 * Documentation updates
13 * Check whether property definitions are duplicate.
15 * Percent style repeats.
17 * Named music creation: (ly-make-music "Note_req")

20 noteheadtype "cross" ; added (ugly) tab-clef ; changed percussion
21 clef, fixed "repeat dots on even number of stafflines"-bug. (Rune

38 * Bugfix: mutopia letter target.
40 * Some bugfixes and checks for killed spanners, reducing warnings in
41 Coriolan from 1143 to 283. Part combiner still gives rise to many
44 * Bugfix: install gettext.py into @datadir@/python and use that path
45 from ly2dvi. Debian or RedHat installs could/should move gettext.py
46 into /usr/share/lib/python/1.x/site-packages or so.
48 * Bugfix: move the making of \makelilypondpiecetitle to actually
49 included part of lilyponddefs.tex.

67 original edition. This revision also revealed fair amount of bugs.
68 Previous versions arguably might have worn some small stains of
69 editorial decisions dated 1936. Arguably, because most of these small
70 changes can be found in other editions, some of which even are
71 commonplace modernisations.
76 * Bugfix: set dependency for direction-source in script-engraver. This
77 fixes core-dump problem when stacking multiple scripts containing
80 * Put TFM files under $VARTEXFONTS (/var/lib/texmf,
81 typically). PK files are put in the right spot
82 automatically, and dirs are also created automatically.
84 A change to mktexnam is still required -- add

100 * Bugfix: website build.
102 * Fixed titling: cleaned out titledefs.tex for use by ly2dvi.
107 * minor documentation fix.

116 * Silly build and website-build fixes.
118 * convert-ly: added conversions, converted glossary, refman and examples.
123 * Rewrote ly2dvi, moved the old one to buildscripts/. The result is
124 490 lines code in stead of 1230.
126 * Modified kpathsea lookup so it will find system-installed feta TFMs first.
127 Now lily doesn't clutter the CWD with .TFM files. Kpathsea is fun if you like
133 * Bugfix: fixed point-and-click broken in jcn2.
135 * convert-ly: Added and fixed various entries (our strings with optional "" re\ally suck).
137 * Small ez play tweaks. Guess I'm a sucker too.
139 * Easy-play bugfixes: don't do showpage for each notehead, output
140 staff-symbol first, moved to lily.ps.
142 * Bugfix: don't print so many decimals in ps output.
144 * Bugfix for refman example.
146 * Added some part combiner doco.
148 * Bugfix: a broken tie only generates an accidental if it would differ
154 * Center instrument name on staffs. Use
155 Side_position_interface::align_elements_to_refpoints.
157 * staff-symbol-referencer-interface, general cleanup of
158 interface-description.scm
163 * Bugfix: Time and key signatures in MIDI.

181 * Added some example bug files, taken from Coriolan
183 * a2-engraver: \property noDirection: don't force direction when part-combining (for StaffCombining).
185 * text-spanner: don't repeat edge text for broken edge.
187 * Coriolan fixes, titling, font setting, header info, cello octave
188 (yes, notated different from bass; all agree) at end.
193 * Allow declared repeat variant string
195 * Bugfix: break alignment at right edge.
197 * Easy-notation: letters in circular note heads.
199 * Debian patch by Anthony Fok.
204 * Fixes for ascii-script output. Stylesheet needs some work, just as
207 * Bugfix: convert-ly --to accepts argument.
209 * Prepared Petites Preludes for (first?) submission to mutopia.
211 * Bugfix: out-letter/%.ps generation for mutopia.
213 * Bugfix: don't use $(message ) in makefiles; some versions of make
216 * Bugfix: ly2dvi.py: don't add magic `//' to TEXINPUTS,MFINPUTS; this
217 chokes kpsewhich 3.3.1 (bug report filed).
219 * Bugfix: file-path.cc: don't interpret relative path as system root.
221 * Bugfix: --srcdir install.

232 * Bugfix: add functionality of
233 Side_position_interface::self_align_callback() into
234 Align_interface::align_elements_to_extents(). Otherwise, combining
235 both (such as in a break alignment) leads to weird behavior: the
236 spacing information is written halfway during a callback sequence,
237 leading to weird results.
239 This fixes input/test/orchestscore.ly
241 * Bugfix: x-offset of stem was off by 0.5 stem thickness.
243 * Add grob-property attachment-angle: angle for stem to attach to note head.

1022 * Make smob of Duration
1024 * Make smob of Musical_pitch.
1026 * Move Repeated_music members into SCM. Length is computed via a SCM
1027 function. (todo: write SCM function to unfold all repeats. \apply for
1030 * Remove Time_signature_change_req, \time is disguise for \property
1031 Score.timeSignatureFraction = ...
1033 * \property barCheckNoSynchronize: don't reset measurePosition when
1034 finding a bbarcheck. This makes bar-checks for polyphonic music
1037 * elt property full-size-change for clefs.
1039 * Bugfix: use Stem::dim_callback (), so brew_molecule () is not called
1042 * Bugfix: use extent of Note_head (iso. Note_column) for rest
1043 collisions, so Stem::brew_molecule() is not called too early.
1048 * Makeinfo html documentation generation fixes.

1061 properties clefPosition, clefGlyph, clefOctavation. The \clef command
1062 is just a front-end to these, see scm/lily.scm, function
1063 clef-name-to-properties. See also input/test/manual-clef.ly
1068 * Bit of temporary makefile hacking to stay in sync with makeinfo patch.

1136 * Rewrite of tfmtoafm in scm.
1138 * Rewrite of emacs LilyPond mode, based upon auctex interface.
1140 * Chord name fixes and additions (Atte Andr'e Jensen)
1142 * ly-get-mus-property, ly-set-mus-property: set properties of Music
1144 * Move Span_req::span_dir_ into Scheme

1180 * Bugfix: Tie_column doesn't force Tie directions ties that already
1183 * Bugfix: multimeasure rest
1188 * Custodes (patch by Juergen Reuter), mods by hwn.

1196 settings. Fixes too large time sigs.
1201 * Tweaks of .scm font-selection.
1203 * Rewrote font management of Score_element and Paper_def.

1372 * Don't print repeat bars at start of line.
1380 * Bugfix: don't crash if there is no volta bracket to end.
1382 * Move offset, dimension callbacks into Scheme. They can be initialized from basicXXXX properties using
1384 (X-offset-callbacks . (callback1 callback2 .. .))
1385 (Y-offset-callbacks . (callback1 callback2 .. .))
1386 (X-extent-callback . callback1)
1387 (Y-extent-callback . callback1)
1389 * naming: basicXXXProperties -> XXX, some other changes in naming;
1390 convert-mudela rules added.
1392 * naming: \voiceone -> \voiceOne and related changes. convert-mudela
1395 * syntax: \property XXX \pop #'bla -> \property Context.XXX \pop #'bla

1453 * rest collision of differing rests.
1455 * Cleanup of Sequential_music_iterator, Simple_music_iterator.
1457 * Unfolded_repeat_iterator now signals repeats using \property
1458 repeatCommands. You could override this, eg.
1460 \property Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta "X") start-repeat)
1462 will print a |: and a volta bracket saying X. See also
1463 input/test/manual-volta.ly
1465 * Volta_engraver, Repeat_acknowledge_engraver: new engravers that are
1466 controlled by repeatCommands; much cleaner than the Repeat_engraver.
1468 * Junked Repeat_engraver.
1472 * Abort all running spanners when part-combiner combines voices.
1477 * Use S_ISDIR () and check for stat.h.

1485 number for self-alignment-{X,Y}.
1487 * etf2ly: single line GF field.
1492 * Added an interscorelinefill paper variable. Set to a positive number
1493 in order to stretch the inter-line spacing to fill the full pages,
1494 except for the last page (where it would look really ugly).
1499 * Changed lilypond to LilyPond in ly2dvi, Mudela to LilyPond source.
1501 * Website fixes: Changed \interline to \staffspace in manual, removed offending
1502 braces from mudela-book.tely.
1504 * Fixed slur attachment correction bug.
1506 * Made some fixes to Coriolan.
1511 * Only open files, not directories
1513 * bugfix: textNonEmpty.
1515 * Look ahead in auto-change iterator for rests. This means rests
1516 before the note leading to an automatic staff switch are switched as
1517 well (improves the looks of scarlatti-test). Associated fixes and
1518 additions for Music_iterator::skip () and friends.
1520 * Bugfix: only quantise staccato inside the staff.
1522 * cleanups for beam and stem. Removed global GUILE namespace calls
1528 * Some fixes to Coriolan.
1530 * Fixed some stupid core dumps processing Coriolan.
1532 * Fixed several problems with part-combiner's part-switching.
1534 * Fixes for ASCII output.
1536 * Added feature to part combiner that should allow part-switching only
1537 for entire measures. Currently, it is controlled by a new
1538 property changeMoments (A . B):
1539 - only switch when !(A mod now),
1540 - decide whether to switch based on music during time period B.
1542 * Made bugfix: Sequential_iterator::get_music (M): mustn't return music
1545 * Added skip (M) to some iterators.
1547 * maintain minimum-length by shifting for hyphens at start of
1548 line. (patch courtesy Christophe Rhodes)
1550 * mudela-book fixes (courtesy Tom Cato Amundsen): documentation
1551 update, LaTeX example, landscape support.
1556 * Added elt properties for Tie:
1559 - staffline-clearance
1561 * Added elt properties for Slur
1565 * Removed C++ support for barNumberScriptPadding, now in
1566 generic-property.scm (but they're deprecated anyway)
1568 * Changed threshold in Align_interface to be in staffspace
1570 * changed minVerticalAlign and maxVerticalAlign to be in staffspace.
1571 A better way: do \push #'threshold = #(cons A B ). (WARNING:
1572 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE)
1574 * moved translator definitions out of \paper { }, only instantiate in
1580 * Sequential_iterator::get_music (), part combiner now works.
1582 * Changed paper variables into elt properties:
1584 - beam-space-function, Removed Paper_def::interbeam_f(), Smaller
1585 beams for grace notes.
1586 - beam-flag-width-function to Beam.
1589 - horizontal-space: spacing of grace notes is configurable
1607 - note-width to Collision
1609 * removed various obsolete variables from params.ly
1611 * added input/test/bagpipe.ly
1616 * Made fixes to part-combine examples and Coriolan.
1618 * Bugfix: don't dump core on unterminated (de)crescendo.
1620 * Rolled next (M) also into get_music (M), similar to process (M), so that
1621 sequential-music-iterator::get_music (M) returns something useful.
1623 * Bugfix: part-combiner still expected Music_sequence, where get_music ()
1624 now returns plain list of events.
1629 * Fixed problem with disappearing crescendi across line break.
1631 * Bugfix: dynamic texts should not be set by text-engraver.
1633 * Rewrote and cleaned up music-iterator.
1635 * etf2ly robustness fixes.
1640 * Added side-position-interface as an interface identifier, in stead
1641 of checking side-support-elements. This fixes a problem with stacked
1644 * Removed spurious set_elt_property ("XX", SCM_EOL) calls.
1646 * Added \property squashedPosition for Pitch_squash_engraver: the
1647 staff-position number to squash noteheads to.
1649 * Added FAQ entry for script on bar, updated description of mailing
1652 * Fixed bug with \translator { basicXXXProperties \push ... }
1654 * Updated and revised call for help in hacking.texi.
1656 * Bugfix: don't remember accidental if it is tied from the previous note.
1661 * Separated definition and implementation of contexts (moved
1662 definition out of Translator_group into Translator_def)
1664 * pmx2ly.py fixes: now handles text at beginning of block correctly.
1666 * update .spec to include scripts.
1668 * Changed syntax of \pushproperty:
1670 \property Voice.basicXXXProperties \push #'foo = #bar
1671 \property basicXXXProperties \pop #'foo
1674 basicXXXProperties \push #'foo = #bar
1675 basicXXXProperties \pop #'foo
1681 * Updated INSTALL.texi
1685 * Added Documentation/user/mb-latex.tex, mudela-book+latex example
1686 file and test case. Some work on Documentation/user/mudela-book.tely
1688 * mudela-book.py: any combination of \verb, \begin{verbatim}
1689 @code and @example and mudela should work as expected.
1691 * dropped [].extend that depend on python 1.5.2
1696 * pmx2ly, PMX to LilyPond conversion. Succesfully converts barsant.pmx.
1698 * musedata2ly, a Musedata to LilyPond convertor. Succesfully converts
1701 * bugfixes for dynamics: make sure that dynamic alignments encompass
1702 the dynamics they support, and that any columns they attach to aren't
1705 * bugfix: make sure \time gets noticed early enough.
1710 * small doc updates.
1712 * Cleanups related to barline handling:
1714 - Removed Translator_group::get_simple_translator (), and -
1716 - use properties to communicate about barlines and time sigs. (NOTE:
1717 by default a time-signature of 4/4 is printed.)
1719 - fix repeat bar behavior.
1728 * cleaned up Directional_element_interface
1730 * add name field to score-elements.
1732 * comment in some unprotects for Music in parser. Should bring down
1733 cpu time and plug some leaks.
1735 * robustness fixes for etf2ly, tuplets, grace notes.
1740 * engraver.ly: cleanups.
1742 * etf2ly: robustness fixes, handle mac files as well.
1744 * Smobified Translator and Translator_group, junked
1745 Translator_group_identifier.
1747 * \pushproperty and \popproperty withing \translator, similar to
1748 predefining \property, ie.
1750 \translator { [...] \pushproperty [..] }
1751 \translator { [...] \popproperty [..] }
1753 (these \pushes and \pops are delayed until instantiation, so if you do
1757 \pushproperty #'basicFooProperties #'bla #VALUE1
1758 \context Voice { \pushproperty #'basicFooProperties #'bar #VALUE2
1763 then the setting for basicFooProperties contains both (bla . VALUE1)
1766 * allow \pushproperty #'symbol [..] as well as \pushproperty #'(symbol1 symbol2 ... )
1771 * Activated regex for windows.
1773 * New guile-1.4 patch for cross windows build.
1775 * Added configure messages for metapost checking.
1782 * Added property LyricVoice.associatedVoice to enable switching associated
1783 voice mid-stream. Association still defaults to context name.
1788 * \pushproperty, \popproperty: property settings with less memory
1789 cost. See input/test/pushproperty.ly and Documentation/hacking. Note:
1790 syntax is most likely only temporary.
1795 * (Line-)broken slurs now have vertical trend.
1797 * Better length for broken ties: no invisibly short ties. Now ties may
1798 collide with time signatures, though.
1800 * Don't typeset unfinished spanners, but kill them.
1802 * Added two FAQs (Mats)
1804 * Made workaround guile-1.4.1 backward incompatible (scm_)eval change.
1805 Note that we must use (scm_)eval2 to remain backwards compatible with
1806 guile < 1.4.1 snapshot.
1808 * Reincluded 79.jcn2 fix
1816 * Created Thread_devnull_engraver and Voice_devnull_engraver iso
1817 single A2_devnull_engraver in Thread context. It seems however
1818 that the hack in A2_devnull_engraver works better.
1822 * Slur attachment fix for chords where case slurdir != stemdir.
1824 * Made various fixes for (line-)broken slurs.
1826 * Fixed slur_height (), which fixes most ugly slurs (Yeah!).
1828 * Fixed some silly url reversals in FAQ.
1830 * Finished Coriolan music entry (again); entered second viola part.
1832 * Updated Coriolan to use part combiner on Voice level for wind parts
1833 and on Staff level for violi and bassi.
1835 * Part-combiner now uses duration inquiry, which fixes rhythm-related
1836 bugs in determining solo/a2. Also, rests are taken into account.
1838 * Another crude fix for almost unexplainable (with a gdb that dumps
1839 core on ly_display_scm) all-zero control points slurs.
1841 * Fixed slurs that crossed through stems and note heads. Note
1842 that beautifying of ugly slurs is still broken.
1844 * Made crude fixes slurs don't crash, bezier still crashes on
1845 infinitely steep slurs (eg flauti-part *with* slur_engraver).
1850 * Replaced empty melisma score element with a property
1852 * Renamed Voice_alist_entry -> Syllable_group in lyric-phrasing-engraver
1857 * fixed y-position of whole rest
1859 * fixed sustainPedalPadding
1861 * etf2ly: articulation, lyrics.
1866 * etf2ly.py: Finale to LilyPond conversion.
1871 * Made simple fix to get part-combiner to recognise different rhythms
1873 * Unhardcoded part combiner and a2-engraver; introduced properties
1874 splitInterval, soloADue, soloText, soloIIText, aDueText.
1876 * Fixed part combiner's too-late problem (Dankje!)
1878 * Fixed a2-devnull-engraver, a2-engraver.
1880 * Renamed part combiner music names to "one", "two".
1882 * Cleaned up decision making in part combiner, renamed to "solo"/"unison"
1887 * Minor documentation updates
1889 * Mark_engraver: has been broken since .73, fixed!
1894 * Added a devnull engraver, that junks (notehead) requests of the second
1895 stem when combined parts are in unison (a2).
1897 * Part-combine iterator identifies Soli and A2 parts in threads by
1898 looking at rhythm and pitches. It switches Voice context automagically,
1899 and communicates current state using a2/solo/solo2 properties.
1901 * Simple A2_engraver (`a due) prints `a2/Solo/Solo II. Soli seem to
1902 arrive one request late.
1904 * First try at combining parts: part-combine*
1906 * fixed problem with HaraKiri
1908 * fixed problem with dynamicDirection
1910 * fixed problem with nonEmptyText
1912 * `Fixed' chord notation, as per request of David Arnold, ie,
1913 Added a chord-name-mode, that only displays chord names
1914 when there's a change in the chord-name-scheme, Also, a chord
1915 name should always be displayed after a line break. See
1917 input/test/chord-changes.ly
1919 * Reverted duration-iter change in midi2ly, moved printing of options.
1921 * warning bugfix in lexer.ll (Mats Bengtsson)
1926 * Midi2ly bugfix: handle durations longer than longa. These can occur
1927 because of lengthened notes when using --no-rests.
1929 * Midi2ly: output `new' \key syntax, and updated version number.
1931 * Midi2ly bugfix: don't correct quantised durations, don't use tuplets,
1932 double dots etc. when user doesn't want them. It probably used to
1933 work like this, a long time ago. For some unknown reason, all
1934 corrections made by Duration_convert were junked if the corrected
1935 duration != exact duration. Duh.
1937 * Midi2ly: added a new option: --no-rests.
1939 * Update of mudela-book (Tom Cato Amundsen)
1940 - --read-lys option, now you can do:
1941 mudela-book file.texi
1943 mudela-book --read-lys
1944 - --outdir=DIR will put ALL output into DIR
1945 - @mudela[filename="myfilename"]{c d e f g}
1946 - --force-mudela-fontsize
1947 - ignore mudela inside @ignore @end ignore
1952 * Lyric_phrasing_engraver now catches lyric extenders and correctly
1953 terminates them under the last note of a melisma.
1955 * Lyric word spacing code changed to fix hyphen alignment.
1957 * Other minor tidying up of Lyric_phrasing_engraver and related code.
1962 * Lyric_phrasing_engraver now adjusts for melisma. (Glen Prideaux).
1964 * Mudela-book fix for Windows95 (Mark Hindley)
1966 * Debian update (Anthony Fok)
1968 * Added beam melisma for when automaticMelismata and noAutoBeaming are both
1969 #t (primarily for hymns). Courtesy Glen Prideaux.
1971 * Bugfix: .pfa dependency on $(outdir)/mfplain.mem
1976 * stepmake/stepmake/metapost-rules.make: Put all generated files
1979 * Added paper variable interscoreline to determine the score line
1980 spacing, see input/test/vertical-extent.ly.
1981 Cleaned up the lilyponddefs.tex inclusion scheme.

2036 * Cleanup, documentation and enforcement of smob interfaces in
2037 LilyPond. We distinguish between SIMPLE_SMOBS and SMOBS (objects that
2040 * Glen Prideaux lyric phrasing engraver. See
2041 input/test/lyric-phrasing.ly
2045 * Removed \interscoreline after the last line, prevents some
2046 empty pages. (patch by Mats Bengtsson)
2048 * Smobified Music, junked associated identifiers. Use Scheme list to
2049 store Music_sequence. Removed const declarations from
2050 Music_iterators. Added a mutable and immutable property list to
2051 Music. Use music property for all Scheme values in Music. Created
2052 and fixed a load of Garbage Collection bugs.
2054 * Changed number font to allow automatic .mf creation.
2056 * Output place of definition as \special{src:LOCATION}. See FAQ for
2057 explanation how to use.
2059 * Schemified Local_key_item and fixed minor bug with accidentals.
2061 * new Japanese .po file.
2063 * Bugfix for broken tie direction
2065 * Bugfix for bar at beginning of line break

2074 * cleanup of Tie. Changed Tie into interface. Made ties flatter by default.
2076 * changed SCM_UNDEFINED to SCM_UNSPECIFIED for return values that go
2079 * changed SCM_UNSPECIFIED to SCM_EOL for undefined element
2080 properties. This makes initializing list properties redundant.
2082 * removed idiotic code for including tfm.[1-5] into search path.
2084 * fixed problem with tuplet placement for cross staff tuplets.
2088 * Small cleanups to bring down compile time and binary ensmallment.
2090 * Made Lookup into a smob, and use guile alist iso. an STL map.
2092 * Changed repeated music semantics for relative octave: each
2093 alternative takes its inital octave from the body.
2095 * Fixed: parser accepts booleans for property values as well.
2097 * Added Scarlatti sonata test file to input/
2099 * kpathsea support, courtesy Carsten Block <carsten.block@gmx.de>
2103 * Fixed: long standing problem in optical-illusion code.
2105 * Fixed: stop beam if stem *has* a beam in auto-beam-engraver.
2107 * Made interface of Multi_measure_rest, System_start_delimiter,
2108 Spacing_spanner, Separating_group_spanner, Beam, Slur and
2111 * Use properties for minimum distances and spring parameters. Move
2112 spacing related functions from Paper_column into Spaceable_element.
2114 * Removed most Paper_column typecasts.

2122 * Fixed: Multi measure rests don't cause crashes.
2124 * Fixed: don't invoke Hara_kiri::consider_suicide too early.
2126 * Fixed: property engraver.
2128 * Fixed: don't crash on multiple ties.
2130 * Cleanups of Beam, should also be a little faster.

2144 callback for determining barsize.
2146 * Removed all GLUE_SCORE_ELEMENT callbacks.
2148 * Added test for repeats to trip.ly
2153 * ly2dvi: changed back to original semantics of latexheaders.

2163 * Removed const declaration from callback arguments.
2165 * Pagebreak support. See input/test/between-systems.ly
2167 * Fixed a problem with accidentals in combination with
2168 non-nil key signatures.
2173 * Use callbacks for augmentation dot positioning.
2175 * Removed types Note_head and Rest
2177 * Cleanup of slur.cc: use common reference points in a sane manner.
2182 * Corrected text sizes in paper*.ly (Mats Bengtsson)
2187 * Dots, Collision, Rest_collision removed as separate Score_element type.
2189 * Stem and Note_column accept only one rest.
2191 * Use offset callback in Stem to resolve rest/beam collisions.
2193 * Put the value of new local key signature (accidentals) back into a property.
2195 * Set molecule-callback for notename item.
2200 * Added some comments to new slur code.
2202 * Removed some ugly interstaff slur code, interstaff slurs at line-break
2205 * Slur bugfix: 16th beams are also beams.
2211 * Bugfix: translate volta spanner at start of line.
2213 * Changed directional_element() calls to instantiations
2214 of Directional_element_interface.
2216 * Removed Dynamic_line_spanner, and cleaned up Dynamic_engraver.
2218 * Removed Staff_info type. Information about columns is now transferred
2219 via currentMusicalColumn and currentCommandColumn.
2225 * Made slur attachment position user settable; properties:
2226 slurBeginAttachment slurEndAttachment, values: 'head 'stem
2227 'along-side-stem. See input/test/slur-attachment.ly and ophee-slurs.ly.
2229 * Fixed slur attachment positions, added missing rule and use simple
2230 default starting positions for attachments.
2232 * Started rewrite of slur ending code, interstaff slurs are broken for
2235 * Fixed download URL of the webpage.
2237 * Moved direction.cc to flower/.
2242 * Lyrics centered on notehead.
2244 * Various bugfixes hyphen-spanner.
2246 * Bugfix: set appropriate callbacks for Note_head. This fixes
2249 * Removed Clef_item as score-element derived type.
2251 * Updated config.sub and config.guess
2253 * Bugfix: allow linebreaks on beamed grace notes.
2258 * Included dutch po-update based on submitted 1.3.57 nl.po
2260 * Added "Development" link to website, now that "Home" is a relative link.
2262 * Bugfix: use deep copies for resetting keys.
2264 * Assorted typing erors in procedure names in ly/engraver.ly
2269 * Made callbacks from Score_element::before_line_breaking() and
2270 Score_element::after_line_breaking()
2272 * Fixed website; backlinks should work again.
2274 * Removed --ignore-version option. Added --verbose option.
2284 * Junk int_identifier, real_identifier. Merged Midi_def_identifier and

2287 * Fixed bug with spanning barlines in combination with Hara-Kiri staffs.
2289 * Cleaned up Text_item, Hyphen_spanner, Lyric_extender and
2290 Sustain_pedal and reduced them to an Score_element interface (they are
2291 no longer Score_element derived types).
2293 * Some instances of brew_molecule routines have moved out of
2294 Score_element, and are now called scheme_molecule.
2296 * Moved lots of parameters from ly/params.ly to ly/engraver.ly
2301 * Removed String_identifier, and use the type system of GUILE instead.
2303 * Fixed \key PITCH MODALITY syntax. The modality argument is now
2304 mandatory, a rule in convert-mudela has been added.
2306 * Cleaned up buildscripts/ directory: removed obsolete scripts.
2308 * Use Scheme_hash_table for identifier Scopes. Scheme_hash_table is
2309 based on STL and should be faster than hash_table.
2315 * Fixed scm_un/protect_object for guile-1.3.4 and 1.3.5 snapshots,
2316 in the process reduced number of protect/unprotect calls. With
2317 guile-1.3.5 snapshot, memory usage has decreased by 1/5th, now
2318 just 10% above the 1.2 level. Also, Lily's a bit faster.
2320 * Fixed make diff bug in stepmake to be able to make this diff :-)
2325 * Rewrote key sig support. Now key signature can also be controlled
2326 by setting keySignature and localKeySignature properties, eg.
2328 \property keySignature = #'((2 . -1) ( 4 . -1) (6 . -1))
2330 sets a key signature of `es ges bes' (an unusual key signature).
2332 Keys are internally represented as transpositions of the c-major
2333 scale. Printing the key signature for a scale is done by filtering out
2334 all non-natural accidentals.
2336 * Removed support for \keysignature, and \key something \minor; Newkey
2342 * Fixed pedal items (hw)
2344 * Changed configure option tex-tmfdir to tmf-path now accepting multiple
2345 tfm directories. Automated links to cmr and amstex tfm font directories.
2347 * Replaced one scm_assoc () u-turn slipped through jcn1
2349 * various GUILE 1.3.5 compile fixes

2355 * Ran po-update (mostly because of new ja contribution).
2360 * Cleaned-up scheme list to text conversion for Chord_name and
2361 fixed horizontal kerning.
2363 * Added examples for american (slashed o) and jazz (black triangle),
2364 see input/test/{american-chords.ly,jazz-chords.ly}
2366 * Made guile-1.3.5 compile fixes
2371 * Fixed typo in Dots::do_brew_molecule (); this fixes the disappearing
2374 * Rewrote key signature administration; now Scheme is used; Octave and
2375 Key have been junked in favor of Newkey.
2377 * japanese .po file included (thanks, Japanese team!)
2382 * Fixed several forgotten molecule-callbacks
2384 * Fixed first clef in score; now F clefs are also possible.
2389 * Updated FAQ with two useful GDB macros.
2391 * Several fixes in the documentation.
2396 * Made (dutch) po-update
2401 * Molecules are now generated via callbacks exclusively; most calls to
2402 set_elt_property ("transparent", SCM_BOOL_T) have been replaced by suicide().
2407 * Experimental property collapse for most score-elements. (notable
2408 exceptions: Scripts, pedals). Change all Score_element constructors to
2409 take a basic-property list. The suffix of a property list may be
2410 shared by several score-elements, for instance all default G-clefs in
2411 a score share the following settings
2414 (break-align-symbol . Clef_item)
2415 (visibility-lambda . ,begin-of-line-visible)
2417 This should reduce memory usage further.
2419 * Magically fixed the disappearing Lyrics problem.
2421 * Removed used_b_ field from Score_element.
2423 * Massive search-replace patch: store pointers and properties
2424 separately, in preparation of property collapse.
2430 * Bugfix: don't crash on tuplet spanners that don't contain any notes.
2432 * Cleanup of Dimension_cache: removed a few redundant
2433 fields. Slightly lower memory usage (32 bytes per
2434 score-element). Dimension_cache is now a `dumb' struct again.
2436 * Add array index to priority field of text scripts to ensure that
2437 order is unique, and sensible.
2439 * Added an element count statistic.
2444 * russian.po (thank you, August.)
2446 * Small cleanups in Molecule interface
2448 * Spacing related elements perform suicide after calculating
2449 distances. This saves a some memory, approximately 2 to 5 % ?
2451 * Small cleanups in line breaking: Paper_column stores springs and
2452 rods in only one place now. All fields relating to energy have been
2455 * Don't generate all output Scheme in memory, but evaluate to output
2456 file immediately. This will reduce memory usage a little.
2458 * Use STL's map for Dictionary template
2460 * Substitute pointers on element properties of the root Line_of_score
2463 * Added toplevel doc target, to support building doc with --srcdir
2465 * Removed cygwin build stuff; updated versions at:
2467 http://appel.dyndns.org/lilypond/gnu-windows/cross
2469 * Fixed lily.scm to handle incipits (thanks, Mats)
2475 * Made bugfix in smob handling: delete the C-part of freed smobs and
2476 be honest about amount of allocation and deletion, so that GUILE
2477 doesn't overestimate the amount of memory available.
2479 * Faq update: nicer blank note paper, courtesy Mats Bengtsson.
2481 * Bugfix: don't crash on durations that are not a power of 2.
2483 * Build manpages during `make all'
2485 * Bugfix: don't do absolute comparisons in Polynomial::clean ().
2487 * Bugfix: set visibility-lambda for key signature created by
2488 createKeyOnClefChange. Fixes disappearing key signatures.
2490 * Bugfix: make System_start_delimiter of bar-line type invisible when
2491 it spans only one staff.
2496 * Item cleanups. Copying items and rearranging pointers are done in
2497 separate passes, which makes the code cleaner. This fixes a problem
2498 with some items not disappearing from hara-kiri staffs.
2500 * Use Scheme for Key_item data members.
2502 * Don't use regex in chord-names.scm under windows; hybrid chordnames
2503 user+calculated will be partly broken.
2508 * Junked Shift_tuple from collision; Now it uses SCM.
2510 * Bugfix of documentation and test-file of tuplet.
2512 * Bugfix type string of repeated music is copied. This fixes declared
2515 * Junked various cruft from lily.scm
2517 * Use interfaces symbols instead of C++ class-name for assigning generic
2520 * Junked Dictionary from Piano_pedal_engraver and
2521 Piano_pedal_performer.
2523 * Introduced boolean element property no-spacing-rods: ignore this
2524 item for hard constraints.
2526 * Bugfix: added sanitised TeX fragment in faq.texi
2528 * Bugfix: merge equal Bar_reqs
2533 * Small fixes for \cresc and \endcresc
2535 * Release properties of unbroken spanners & items after doing
2536 handle_broken_smobs (); should conserve a little memory.
2538 * Fixed handling of orphaned score-elements. Any element that does
2539 not have its Line_of_score as a ancestor in both directions, is silently
2540 removed from the output. This guarantees that programming errors
2541 don't result in coredumps from Dimension_cache::common_refpoint ():
2542 element->line_l () is always a common reference point.
2544 * Bugfix: set visibility-lambda of clef and octavation-8 explicitly
2545 for default case. Now the octavation 8 is not printed at every
2551 * Changed noteHeadStyle properties to symbols, for example
2552 \property Voice.noteHeadStyle = #'cross
2557 * Rewrite of chord-name production in scheme. There are two major styles
2558 now, banter and american. To get american style, use
2560 \property ChordNames.chordNameStyle = "american"
2562 Most anything should be possible now. See input/test/american-chords.ly
2564 * Added isinf check to configure.in, and isinf macro from guile to
2565 bezier.cc; solaris has no isinf ().
2567 * Fixed star-spangled-banner with not-so-nice \bar "|." fix. Almost
2570 * Added output property to regression test.
2572 * Fixed warning of creating existing outdir.
2574 * Added `Mark' interface to text-items that are marks (thanks, HW).
2581 * Corrected glossary.tely
2583 * Corrected \mark font handling. feta-nummer font only of the
2584 string is all numeric.
2586 * Implemented noteHeadStyle lookup in Guile. Reintroduced the style
2587 "harmonic" and added "baroque" (normal note shapes except for
2588 brevis and longa which are square).
2590 * Simplified ly2dvi using the power of the geometry package.
2592 * Improved heuristic size calculation of TeX macros. Handles e.g.
2593 "\\u{a}", "\\"{o}" and "\\^{u}" correctly.
2598 * Bugfix: don't hang on zero-duration.
2600 * Various glossary updates (thanks, Christian)
2608 * Drastically reduced vertical space used by headers/footers, when using
2609 ly2dvi. See input/test/fill-a4.ly.
2611 * Fixed bug with colons appearing on repeat span-bars.
2613 * Added Bar_number_engraver to standard Score context
2615 * Construct octavation scripts in the clef-engraver; this fixes the
2616 hara-kiri + clef8 problem
2624 * Fixed chord-name customisation and made small chord-name build fixes.
2626 * Accidentals with chord-names smaller and as superscript.
2628 * Do some extra footify (works only once) while making html docs.
2633 * Debian patch (Thanks Anthony)
2635 * Rewrote Bar_number_engraver and Mark_engraver and removed
2636 Bar_script_engraver as baseclass. Both Bar_number_engraver and
2637 Mark_engraver are simpler and more robust.
2639 * Fixed precedence of \property verticalDirection and dynamicDirection
2641 * Fixed keys without barlines
2643 * Fixed StaffGroups: removing `\consistsend "Axis_group_engraver"'
2644 puts alignment in function again
2646 * Fixed StaffGroup + GrandStaff combination.
2648 * Music is now mandatory as the first thing in a \score{} block
2655 * Implemented una-chorda and sostenuto piano pedals in performer and engraver.
2657 * Added Properties textScriptWordSpace and chordNameWordSpace.
2659 * Junked old lyrics in star-spangled-banner.
2661 * Added a Piano_pedal_engraver.
2663 * Removed some empty files.
2665 * Created piano pedal symbols: * - . P e d.
2667 * Fixed ps-to-pfa.py to handle multiple unfills.
2669 * Moved accordion symbols out of feta-script to end of font.
2671 * Bugfix: don't create tfm's, pfa's etc of feta-test fonts.
2673 * Fixed blot_diameter for small resolutions.
2678 * Put global element list into Line_of_score, instead of
2679 Paper_score. post processing (the stage after line breaking) is now
2680 truly done per-system, and we got rid of an ugly hack to get font
2683 * Bugfix: set the group-interface of System_start_delimiter.
2685 * Cleanups of Break_algorithm and derived classes, Move
2686 broken_col_range () to Line_of_score, remove Paper_score::col_l_arr_
2688 * Bugfix for accordion symbols.
2690 * Various patches to prevent crashing when do_brew_molecule gets
2691 called before after_line_breaking (). This was a problem in Spanner
2700 * Made a quick try at piano pedal performer, damper pedal only.
2702 * mf/feta-accordion.mf: Fixed strange turning paths.
2704 * mf/feta-beugel.mf: Fixed infinity errors.
2706 * Use a more discriptive name for windows setup.zip.
2708 * mf/GNUmakefile: Have logs as last target, so that normally, they're
2711 * stepmake/stepmake/metafont-rules.make: Don't remove the .log files.
2712 The logs are a target, removing them retriggers make.
2714 * stepmake/stepmake/metapost-rules.make: Remove the correct log and tfm
2715 files, ie the ones that clutter the source directory, not the target logs.
2717 * Windows distribution: faked symlink for cmtfm. Setup.zip should now be
2718 standalone; ie, no need for Cygnus' usertools anymore.
2723 * Documentation/ntweb: Updated angels.ly to match current syntax.
2724 Also updated index.texi.
2729 * Change all occurances of Staff_margin_engraver to
2730 Instrument_name_engraver, add a convert-mudela rule
2732 * Change status == busy assert into programming error
2740 * Lots of fixes to windows distribution scripts.
2742 * Added configuration features --program-prefix, --program suffix.
2744 * lily/my-lily-parser.cc (get_chord): Bugfix, don't use deleted pitch.
2745 This fixes inversions c/g and bass additions d/+c on chords.
2750 * Avoid that xxxXXXVerticalExtent is used for empty HaraKiriStaff
2756 * Debian patches (thanks Anthony!)
2758 * Use symbols for prefatory matter spacing. Do not use the typename
2759 for looking up item pairs in the table, but read element property
2762 * Instrument_name_engraver, uses break alignment instead of
2765 * System_start_delimiter_engraver, System_start_delimiter, uses a
2766 spanner for the braces/brackets at the left of the system. Remove all
2767 old Span_score_bar engravers.
2769 * Removed Base_span_bar_engraver::use_prority_b_, and moved
2770 Base_span_bar_engraver into Span_bar_engraver.
2775 * mutopia/Coriolan/violino-2.ly: Bugfix: wrong pitch.
2777 * input/test: Removed stale AutoStaffSwitch examples.
2779 * mutopia/E.Satie: Fixed gnossiene-4, doing \autochange. Removed
2780 stale copy of gnossiene-4.
2782 * buildscripts/make-cygwin-cross.sh: Made some small .zip package fixes.
2784 * make/lilypond.spec.in: Made some bugfixes for _prefix, preparations
2785 for cross-building to Cygwin.
2787 * buildscripts/make-cygwin-cross.sh: Now using rpm packages.
2792 * added \property XXXMinimumVerticalExtent, \property XXXExtraVerticalExtent
2794 * New_chord_tremolo_engraver: make tremolo beams from
2796 \repeat "tremolo" NUMBER <Music-expression>
2798 Removed support for "old-style" tremolos.
2800 * Add a convert-mudela function for the conversion "\key A;" to "\key a;
2802 * Read \property measurePosition within the engraver code, instead of
2803 looking up the Timing_translator.
2805 * star-spangled-banner.ly: add Bar_engraver to LyricsVoice
2807 * Changed all .fly and .sly files to .ly files. Propose to dump .fly
2816 * buildscripts/mf-to-table.py: feta dep files are now opened with write
2817 binary option. This avoids carriage return linefeed problems and
2818 windows while not affecting unix.
2820 * Documentation/hacking.texi: Fixed a texinfo syntax error
2822 * stepmake/bin/package-zip32.sh: Fixed or Removed some legacy, 1.2.x,
2825 * Documentation/ntweb/index.texi: Fixed broken links, added 1.3.39 links.
2830 * Glossary updates by Christian Mondrup.
2832 * Bugfix: use generic properties in lyrics too. This fixes the
2833 \property textStyle for lyrics.
2835 * Score_element::preset_extent(), used by \property
2836 XXXVerticalExtent, so hard code the size of a vertical group.
2838 * Don't fix up reference points for originals of broken
2839 spanners. Fixes spurious "orphaned score-element" warnings.
2841 * buildscripts/make-cygwin-cross.sh: Use rx-1.5 instead of regex (Jeffrey).
2843 * scm/lily.scm: Fixed check for Windows: by default don't use scm regex.
2845 * Documentation/ntweb/guile-1.3.4-gnu-windows.patch: Significantly smaller
2848 * buildscripts/make-cygwin-cross.sh: Compile native package GNU regex,
2849 which should fix Windows problems with guile. Also added input directory
2852 * stepmake/aclocal.m4: Added decent checking for version of guile, and
2853 fixed warning message.
2855 * lily/lexer.ll (My_lily_lexer): Bugfix: lookup chordmodifiers in the
2856 chord-modifier table (not in the pitch list).
2864 * General cleanups of My_lily_parser.
2866 * Start of a Chord_tremolo_iterator for the `\repeat 4 "tremolo"'
2869 * Moved Score_element::do_space_processing out of the dependency
2872 * Use Scheme for notename tables. Removed uppercase letters for low
2873 octave notes. Removed Notename_table.
2875 * Fixed core dump with declared "\key ; "
2877 * Extra robustness warning for Side_position_interface::aligned_on_self ()
2879 * Extra robustness: make sure that first and last columns are breakable.
2884 * stepmake/aclocal.m4: Added support for cross-compiling with guile.
2886 * buildscripts/make-cygwin-cross.sh: A try at dropping cygwin1.dll
2887 dependency by using mingw. Compiling guile is too much to ask
2888 for mingw, though. Also:
2889 - rename python scripts .py (request from Alain)
2890 - install native packages under their own, separate root. (Alain)
2892 * lily.scm: Don't use regex module when running on
2895 * lily/staff-margin-engraver.cc (acknowledge_element): If
2896 possible, hang y-axis of margin script to span-bar. This fixes
2897 vertical placement of margin scripts attached to staff groups.
2899 * help2man-rules.make: Fixes for generating manpages by copying
2900 and for building using --scrdir.
2902 * stepmake/stepmake/generic-targets.make: Preserve date stamp of
2903 config.h, version.hh files file when copying.
2905 * buildscripts/make-cygwin-cross.sh: made number of fixes:
2906 - add `Cygnus/' prefix to directories in .zip-file too.
2907 - package guile too.
2908 - don't link to cygwin1.dll
2910 * stepmake/stepmake/install-targets.make: bugfix, don't fail if directory
2911 is not emty when uninstalling.
2913 * stepmake/stepmake/generic-targets.make: added man target.
2915 * buildscripts/make-cygwin-cross.sh: new script for cross-building cygwin
2916 development tools and lilypond executable.
2918 * Documentation/ntweb/lilypond-manpages.patch: provide pre-built
2919 manpages, so that make doesn't fail on help2man trying to execute
2920 a GNU/windows executable.
2922 * Documentation/ntweb/guile-1.3.4-gnu-windows.patch: new patch for
2925 * flower/libc-extension.cc (memmem): cygwin compile fix.
2933 * (generic-property.scm) added \property tieDash to set dashing on
2936 * Removed ly_eval_str(), we should use scm_eval (Scm_object).
2938 * Removed scm_to_array (), array_to_scm (), associated junk. Reverted
2939 undocumented .29 patch that made Bezier::control_ into an
2940 Array<Offset>. Added some comments documenting the reasons for the
2943 * Revert generic-property.scm of .37 fix, fix the real problem in
2944 property-engraver.cc: use the right symbol to check if element
2945 property is already set.
2950 * Fixed srcdir build, so that you can do:
2952 tar xzf releases/lilypond-x.y.z
2955 ../lilypond-x.y.z/configure
2958 as with any other gnu package. All build output goes to <build>/out.
2960 * Changed and fixed use of different configurations, and different output
2961 directories. Finally, you can use different configurations alongside
2962 eachother. From make/stepmake.make:
2964 # Use alternate configurations alongside eachother:
2966 # ./configure --enable-config=debug
2969 # uses config-debug.make and config-debug.h; output goes to out-debug.
2972 # Use same configuration, but different output directory:
2976 # uses config.make and config.h; output goes to out-www.
2980 * Fixed performance of (de)crescendi.
2982 * Better documentation for arithmetic_multiplier and arithmetic_basicspace
2985 * Added instrument-equaliser for MIDI output, see scm/midi.scm, and
2986 properties midiMinimumVolume, midiMaximumVolume, ranges [0,1].
2988 * Changed absolute midi volume settings into factor of full scale.
2990 * Fixed another dynamic-line-spanner bug, it gets hairy.
2992 * Added warning for spanners that are not fully contained in parent spanner.
3000 * Abstract Align_element into Align_interface. Removed
3001 Axis_align_{item,spanner}, Align_element, Super_element, all multiple
3002 inheritance in the backend.
3004 * new Gade score, INSTALL.texi fixes (thanks, Mats)
3006 * Removed Item::hpos_f (), Score_element::{get,set}_real ()
3008 * comments detailing properties for Axis_group_interface,
3009 Side_position_interface, Score_element, Item and Spanner
3014 * Fixed vertical dimensions of elements in dynamic line spanner by adding
3015 axis-group to dynamic line spanner.
3017 * Bugfix: line-spanner lasts always full duration of (de)crescendi.
3019 * Bugfix: broken (de)crescendi on a dynamic-line-spanner.
3021 * Bugfix: compilation dynamic-engraver.
3023 * Added and updated a faq about postscript and ghostscript.
3025 * Fixed order of slurVerticalDirection verticalDirection in
3026 generic-property.scm. Similar fixes for Stem, Tie, etc.
3028 * Added a Text_engraver to GraceContext. Maybe it was removed on
3029 purpose: scripts on grace notes seem broken, they appear on the
3032 * Bugfix: volume effect of (de)crescendi was sometimes wrong way round.
3039 * textEmptyDimension changed into textNonEmpty, default: off,
3040 ie. texts don't occupy space.
3042 * Use STL map for Lookup::lookup_p_tab_p_
3044 * Abstracted Axis_group_element into Axis_group_interface, and removed
3045 Axis_group_element. This eliminates some multiple inheritance in the
3051 * Added minimum-space property to Side_position_interface. Used in
3052 positioning of Volta_spanner: voltaMinimumSpace.
3054 * Fixed and cleaned-up volta-spanner.
3056 * Moved directional-element.cc -> directional-element-interface.cc
3058 * Renamed all `process_requests' to `process_music', which fixes
3061 * Fixed dimensions (more x-y interchanges) of brace, bracket and
3064 * Half-assed fix to get similar vertical placement of orphaned vs.
3065 line-spanned dynamic elements.
3067 * Added property bracketCollapseHeight: the minimal size of a staff bracket
3068 that will be typeset. Smaller brackets will not be displayed. This
3069 fixes the (in 1.3.x reintroduced) funny duck-beak-bracket-bug (sorry).
3071 * Removed some dissonant chords from Coriolan
3076 * Removed Documentation/programmer directory
3081 * Small enhancements to Staff_margin_engraver:
3082 - by default, the marginScript left aligns the text
3083 - to set the text style, use property marginScriptTextStyle
3084 - to change the alignment, use property marginScriptHorizontalAlignment
3085 (centred and right alignment require manual padding settings).
3087 * Print a friendly message if the manual pages failed to build.
3089 * Bugfix: dynamicDirection now overrides verticalDirection setting.
3091 * Warning messages and nl.po
3093 * Fixed vertical alignment for all dynamic items and (reluctantly)
3094 reinstated old directional behaviour for orphaned dynamics.
3096 * Finished maximumRestCount property.
3103 * Print key without setting key, syntax "\key ;". General cleanups of
3106 * Add paragraph tags in HTML output of mudela-book. Music fragment
3107 don't run into the text anymore.
3109 * Bugfix: don't align the first line of text. (Lookup::text ()).
3111 * Abstract away data members of Axis_group_element, Align_element
3117 * Added helpful properties instrumentScriptPadding/instrScriptPadding for
3118 Staff_margin_engraver.
3120 * Removed some empty files, substituted (c) 1999 occurrences.
3122 * Added \property maximumRestCount. It will prevent showing (or actually:
3123 moving in case of a collision) more than maximumRestCount similar rests.
3126 * Rewrote Staff_margin_engraver. Staff margin texts now hang on a new
3127 breakable item: Left_edge_item.
3129 * Fixed vertical alignment for dynamic elements. Orphaned dynamic items
3130 (not supported by a Dynamic_line_spanner) still collide with Staff,
3131 although they now have staff support, which was supposed to fix this.
3133 * Fixed Staff_margin_engraver for "instrument", "instr" is still broken.
3135 * Dynamic elements are only put in a Dynamic_line_spanner if there
3136 actually is more than one adjacent note-column with a dynamic.
3137 This breaks the fine looks of all dynamics, again :-)
3148 * Experiment: use STL map for Scheme_hash_table; Is there a speedup?
3150 * Bugfix: print brace iso. bracket for Piano / GrandStaff
3152 * Change naming: change do_post_processsing into after_line_breaking,
3153 do_pre_processsing into before_line_breaking and do_process_requests
3154 into do_process_music.
3156 * Bugfix in hash-table.hh: do quadratic probing, and not cubic probing.
3158 * Display property name for type error.
3160 * Cleanups for Dynamic_engraver and Dynamic_line_spanner.
3162 * Warn if last column in score is musical. Helps catch programming errors.
3164 * Spanner::spanned_drul_ now is private.
3166 * Rewrote some bar code: moved molecule functions out of Lookup.
3171 * Embedded newlines in text items are now allowed. This helps avoiding
3172 TeX-hacking in some cases. See input/test/coriolan-margin.ly
3174 * Fixed stupid x-y interchange bug for staff-bracket. This fixes
3175 placement of staff-brackets.
3177 * Fixed bracket/arch-thickness interchange bug, and made bracket a bit
3180 * Fixed slur/bezier-beautiful name mismatch. This should fix the steep
3181 slurs that were apparently reintroduced in 1.3.29.
3183 * Made some small fixes to Coriolan.
3185 * Removed duplicate lily/output-property-engraver.hh.
3187 * Removed optional use of vanilla spanner in Dynamic_engraver.
3189 * Fixed (measured) tremolo for Stem and Beam. Merged declarations
3190 stem-engraver.hh and chord-tremolo-engraver.hh into their .cc
3191 implementation file. Also fixed looks of Chord tremolo, input and
3192 implementation is still ugly.
3194 * Added *.yy and *.ll to TAGS, to that tags-find-replace doesn't omit
3200 * Fixed \specialkey and \normalkey. Updated documentation.
3207 * Fixed and cleaned-up Dynamic_engraver. Optionionally uses vanilla
3208 spanner instead of Dynamic_line_spanner.
3210 * Made gcc-2.95 compile fix in libc-extension.
3212 * Various fixes to Coriolan, score starts to look acceptable.
3214 * Moved optional text of crescendo into Crescendo spanner. Fixed horizontal
3215 and vertical alignment of dynamics.
3217 * Added new text crescendo spanners to Coriolan and made some fixes.
3218 If you're using timidity, use the -EO option to prevent notes get
3219 stuck. I'm not sure whose fault this is, Lily's MIDI output may be
3220 stretching the standard a bit.
3222 * Adjacent dynamic markings are now grouped on a horizontal line, but it's
3223 not perfect yet: they're always below the staff and no horizontal spacing
3224 is done. Also, character metrics of dynamics are still not used.
3225 See: input/test/crescendi.ly and input/test/dyn-line.ly
3227 * Cleaned up Span_dynamic_performer.
3234 * Fixed the page layout, reintroducing space for the header and
3235 trying to keep piece titles on the same page as the piece.
3236 The header and footer can now contain several lines.
3241 * Lily now also performs crescendi and decrescendi in MIDI output:
3242 Span_dynamic_performer in a slightly crappy way.
3244 * Added preliminary support for crescendi/decrescendi other than `hairpins',
3245 eg: `cresc. poco `a poco -- -- --'
3247 * Made MIDI tie performance fix.
3252 * Lily now performs absolute dynamics in MIDI output.
3254 * Included David's comments on opus47 in TODO.
3259 * More Coriolan: flute-1,2; oboe-1,2; clarinet-1,2;
3260 fixes and remainder french horn-1,2; trombone-1,2;
3261 fagotto-1,2; timpani; and several fixes.
3266 * Remove some old doco from programmer/ and put on personal homepage.
3268 * Removed union-find from flower library.
3270 * Only quantise tie horizontal part inside the staff.
3277 * Report type errors for \property. Helps with converting 1.2 input
3279 * Use Scheme for Align_element; fixed graceAlignPosition
3280 and removed \property alignmentReference in the process.
3282 * Use generic properties for lyrics too. This fixes \property
3286 * Add relative distance for constraints between non-column items.
3288 * Automatic \marks: use "\mark ; ". The mark numbers or letters are
3289 increased automatically.
3291 * Translators now only change properties of their own context. This
3292 removes the 2nd argument to Translator::get_property()
3294 * Bugfix for Metapost mode
3299 * Updates of glossary (Christian Mondrup)
3301 * Bugfix with bar number placement
3303 * Moved links to bibliography/ and misc/ to main index.
3308 * Moved Slur-specific code from Bezier_bow to Slur and Slur_bezier_bow.
3309 Slurs are now calculated just once.
3311 * Bezier_bow gets constants from paper. Still no sensible solution for
3312 magic asymmetry gradient step constants.
3314 * Reinstantiated tangent-controls, more flexible than ever. You can choose
3315 between area asymmetry and tangent-controls. My guess is, tangent controls
3316 will be junked in 1.3.30.
3318 * Slur area: only look at x-gradient.
3320 * Added credits for some symbols of as5/9 fonts.
3322 * Bugfix: don't make almost flat slurs, change in de-uglyfy slur.
3324 * Bugfix: midi2ly put out recent version (ugh).
3329 * Bugfix: don't forget to process staffSpace and numberOfStaffLines
3332 * Removed Gade score. To appear (shortly?) on Mutopia.
3334 * Make Bar_script_engraver look for typeVisibilityFunction (eg
3335 property barNumberVisibilityFunction). Changed the names of the Scheme
3336 functions to be understandable. See input/test/bar-script-visibility.ly
3338 * rewrite of class Molecule. It has now reached the ultimate quality
3339 plateau. All molecule data is now shared.
3344 * Update of the glossary by Christian Mondrup
3346 * Moved horn-concerto-3 out of tarball to private website, removed
3347 W.A.Mozart subdirectory.
3352 * Bugfix: don't make giant ties if the horizontal part of tie is near
3355 * Small optimizations to be a little more careful with mem usage.
3357 * Website change: put all examples in one directory.
3359 * Removed Atom as a separate type. Now use SCM, and since we use
3360 function composition, Atoms are immutable, so they don't have to be
3361 copied. This makes life easier, hopefully this is quicker and uses
3367 * Bezier_bow: minimise_enclosed_area
3375 * Tuplet-spanner slope calculation now looks better on tupletted rests
3376 (patch courtesy Laurent Martelli)
3378 * Bugfix (Staff_performer::new_instrument_str ()) check type of
3379 \property "instrument"
3381 * New mechanism for breaking lines: do not copy & prune the element
3382 property list separately, but combine these steps. Dramatically
3383 reduces memory usage for large scores.
3390 * Bugfix: font used in volta-spanner calculation.
3392 * Added simple selection list to webpage, inspired by sawmill.
3394 * Devised kludge for ascii 5 character font pitches.
3396 * Substitutions: interline, 1997,1998, @stack.nl and small typo fixes.
3401 * Plug memory leaks related to Moment:
3402 - Spacing_engraver::do_pre_move_processing ()
3403 - make_rational ()/make-rational
3404 - Paper_column::Paper_column ()
3406 * Plug memory leak in Paper_outputter::output_{String,Real,int}_def()
3408 * Plug memory leak in Score_engraver::set_columns ()
3410 * Plug memory leak in Scheme_hash_table::set()
3412 * Plug memory leak in Score_element::molecule_extent ()
3414 * Bugfix: don't crash if a slur doesn't span anything.
3416 * Bugfix: don't crash if doing beams without a staff symbol.
3418 * Generic element property setting:
3420 \outputproperty #predicate #'symbol = #value
3422 Will set the element property symbol to value, for any elements that
3423 return true for PREDICATE. This allows you to virtually tweak *ANY*
3424 property of the output. Example in input/test/generic-output-property.ly
3429 * lilypond as as2ly: --help and --version to stdout. Regular identify
3430 to stderr. This fixes help2man's manpage generation.
3432 * configure: substitute full path for perl and guile in scripts.
3434 * Added ascii slur and volta. There seems to be a Lily bug in volta placement.
3436 * Bugfix: default font now user settable
3438 * as2text: handle plain ascii font, read from stdin, you can now do:
3440 echo "\time 4/4; g''1 g2 g4. g8" | lilypond -f as -i init-as.fly - | as2text
3445 * Bugfix: second half of broken ties now are displayed again.
3447 * Bugfix: add clef to the support of 8 text in the G_8 clefs. Center
3448 it horizontally on the clef.
3450 * Added Tie_column spanner. Ties in tied chords now get proper directionsa.
3452 * Bugfix: unbroken repeat barlines now work, eg. |:
3454 * Added Request_iterator to make more flexible constructions possible.
3458 * as2text: catch missing font/character errors, added default font, set text.
3460 * New ascii fonts and glyphs: as5 as-numeral4 as-braces9
3462 * Ascii output, minimal support:
3463 - AsciiScript Fonts: mf/*.af
3464 - Init files: ly/*-as.*ly
3465 - AsciiScript translation to text: scripts/as2text.scm
3466 - input/test/as.fly input/test/as1.fly
3467 - Output support: lily/lily.scm
3469 lilypond -f as -i init-as.fly input/test/as.fly
3475 * The horizontal part of ties will avoid collision with staff lines.
3477 * Plugged memory leak: don't protect Atom function.
3479 * Lookup cleanups. Made lots of functions static. Moved some code out
3487 * Bugfix: ly2dvi.py exits succesfully when encountering --help and
3488 does not delete any of the file_ly*.tex.
3490 * Added header and footer support in ly2dvi.py
3495 * Added a ROADMAP file explaining the source directory layout.
3497 * Minor tweak in the feta 6 and 9 numeral
3499 * Moved files from lib/ to flower/
3501 * Removed Note_head_side class.
3503 * Updated the webpage to be a little more chatty.
3505 * Small Local_key_engraver optimization: only lookup timing engraver once.
3507 * Fixed dashed slurs
3509 * Rewrite of Slur code. Be much more picky about slur shapes. We try
3510 to offset the slur instead of bending it too much
3512 * Look at stem directions for tie direction.
3514 * Compound multimeasure rests. Put measures_i_ variable in an element
3515 property. Made the symbol a lot wider.
3517 * Time signature small cleanups.
3522 * Symbols opposite to stem (eg marcato) now get the proper glyph in up
3525 * Breathing marks now have a direction by default.
3527 * Do set generic script properties.
3529 * Also put tuplet brackets under notes.
3531 * Score_element_info: only store origin of element, but not the path
3532 to parent translators. Saves a little memory, and removes some complexity.
3538 * Autobeaming in time sigs that don't have 1/4 beats fixed.
3540 * (De)crescendi should now work. (Thanks Michael)
3542 * Better error reporting for conflicting time signatures.
3544 * Line_number_engraver: output locations of note head
3545 definitions. Very handy when entering complicated scores.
3547 * Rewrote multi measure rest support: now they are entered as spanners
3548 (\commandspanrequest \start "rest"). RXXXX is an abbreviation for
3550 { \commandspanrequest \start "rest"
3552 \commandspanrequest \stop "rest"
3555 * Removed support of percent style repetitions.
3557 * Put texts outside the staff.
3561 * Getopt bugfix: don't assert on certain errors.
3563 * ly2dvi: Remove unnecessary space for the page headers.
3565 * Bugfix convert-mudela
3570 * Bugfix in lilypond-mode.el: eval-buffering now uses file name and
3573 * Scrapped tupletVisibility property. Now use tupletNumberVisibility,
3574 tupletBracketVisibility, with Scheme value #t, #f or 'if-no-beam.
3575 \property tupletInvisible will stop all tuplet spanner creation.
3577 * Don't go berserk if tuplet spanner is on only one column.
3579 * Use SCMs & Smobs for Molecules & atoms. This uses less
3580 scm_(un)protect_object () calls, so the output stage should be faster.
3582 * Added \property tupletSpannerDuration, to make multiple tuplet signs
3585 * Some programming Errors in spacing are now caught. Lily does not
3586 hang when encountering degenerate springs.
3588 * Allow beams to start and end over rests
3592 * Fix disappearing clefs when clefs are not printed with a barline.
3597 * SCM properties beamHeight and beamVerticalposition now use half-spaces:
3598 input/test/beam-control.fly
3599 * Added \context Voice to .fly and .sly; the default \context Staff is almost
3600 never what you expect
3601 * Fixed decision for .sly/.fly in lilypond-mode.
3606 * Clean up font-metric hierarchy, use Adobe AFM code to parse AFM files.
3607 Cleanup mf-to-table.py
3609 * Fixed embarassing slur bug.
3614 * lilypond-mode.el: guess init file for lily-*-region, lily-mode-map bindings
3619 * lilypond-mode.el for emacs supersedes mudela-mode.el
3621 * Tuplet spanners don't collide with encompassing notes.
3623 * Gobbled Adobe parseAFM* code, for future use.
3625 * Big 1999 to 2000 search/replace.
3627 * Big interline to staff_space search/replace for mf files.
3629 * Removed Bow class, and split code into Tie and Slur
3631 * Don't put scripts on grace notes.
3633 * Font_metric uses SCM for name field.
3635 * Various compilation fixes.
3640 * Bugfix: beams with less than one (visible) stem
3642 * small fixes to pa.ly
3647 * Fixed bug that made multi-measure rest barnumber counts go wild.
3648 (even more scm2int/int2scm mixups!)
3650 * mutopia/J.S.Bach/pa.ly: organ score (for my father)
3652 * small fix to mutopia/J.S.Bach/Duette/violino-ii.ly
3657 * Remove Paper_def calls in bezier-bow.cc
3659 * Remove data members of Tuplet_spanner, Volta_spanner
3661 * hang_on_clef, property hangOnClef removed
3663 * Bar::type_str_ mode into element property `glyph'. Use a Scheme
3664 function to determine breaking behavior.
3666 * More Scheme typechecking.
3668 * Be strict about the difference between strings and symbols for conversion.
3670 * Fixed bug that made 1st line offset to right fixed. Bugfix courtesy
3673 * Partial French translation, courtesy Laurent Martelli.
3675 * Small corrections in NL translation.
3680 * Added mensural note heads (noteHeadStyle = "mensural") Additionally,
3681 we have a longa note head. noteHeadStyle = "harmonic" is not
3682 supported anymore. (for now, that is)
3684 * Reference manual update. Document \properties with examples
3686 * fix mudela-book --help
3688 * Use element properties for Text_item::text_str_, Clef_item::symbol_,
3689 Key_item::c0_position_
3691 * Clef_engraver general cleanup. Use alists (\property
3692 supportedClefTypes, clefPitches) for clef types.
3694 * Use progress_indication () for progress. Don't include <iostream.h> directly
3695 Don't include <string.h>, <math.h> from headers.
3701 * \property stemCentered (boolean): centers stem on note head. See
3702 input/test/stem-centered.ly
3704 * input/trip.ly, small test of lots of features.
3706 * \property Staff.collisionMergeDotted: merge equal noteheads
3707 with different dot count. See input/test/collision-merge-dotted.fly
3709 * Dotted rest bugfix
3711 * Don't crash if a slur does not span any notes.
3713 * Volta repeats fixed.
3715 * cleanup of Note_heads_engraver
3717 * removed dots_i_ member of Dots
3721 * Fixed cross staff slurs. It seems that cross-staff sign
3727 * Fixed bug in stem code. Stem in chords works again. Small
3730 * Use element properties for Staff_symbol.
3732 * \property sparseTies (boolean). Only make one tie in the
3733 middle for tied chords.
3735 * Junked Directional_spanner, Column_info.
3736 Directional_element now is element interface `Directional_element_interface'
3738 * cleanup: use to_boolean () iso. gh_boolean_p && gh_bool2scm
