5 Features you cannot find in the documentation as working, should be
6 mentioned here. This is an assorted collection of stuff that will be
7 done, might be done, or is an idea that we want to think about.
8 Most of the items are marked in the code as well
9 Grep -i for TODO, FIXME and ugh/ugr/urg.
12 . * use hash tabs iso. alist_ for elt property?
13 . * alignment within @itemize
14 . * junk dstream output.
15 . * agressive type-checking for SCM stuff.
17 . * Must stop before this music ends:
19 . * input/bugs/clef.sly: clef changes go missing
20 . * input/test/grace.sly: wierd big spacing on grace notes
22 . * make a TODO.texi, like http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/ideas.html
23 . * make this file understandable for 3rd parties.
24 . * \accepts -> \acceptedby
25 . * context in embedded SCM errors.
26 . * acc at tied note after linebreak.
27 . * fix font-naming and selecting
28 . * barcheck warning doesn't resync anymore
29 . * provide settable/invisible span-score-bar bracket
30 . * add context information to warnings
32 waarschuwing: Kan niet beide uiteinden van bindingsboog vinden
34 pa.ly:33:23: waarschuwing: Schroot verzoek: `Span_req':
38 . * chord tonic: placement of accidental C#, Cb (from scm and C++)
39 . * note head on stem err msg in dutch.
40 . * why need to run -C mf twice?
41 . * here's no difference at all in output. When either is jacked up to 7.0,
42 everything works and matches up; when either is set just a bit above the
43 default 5.0 (5.4 is what I was hoping to use), stems miss note heads. So
44 it's some sort of a numerical (truncation/roundoff) problem.
46 . * fix #'margin-shape; setting indent to 0 with \shape fails
47 . * Fixed size staff/system heights;
48 . * ly2dvi : don't repeat opus if same.
49 . * hara kiri _8 clef.
52 . * fix or replace feta-accordion.mf
55 - if I change the property minVerticalAlign in a multi staff score with
56 lyrics the change affects the lyrics too. I would like the change to
59 - I would like to be able to influence the sloping of xtuplet brackets
61 - after the leading measure in the above mentioned score I want a double
62 bar line fully drawn across the staves and after that keep to the
63 ChoirStaff bar line types in the rest of the scores
64 . * Write script that uses --find-old-relative to do auto relativization.
68 . * \$ and $ identifier syntax in examples.
69 . * Key_engraver, Local_key_item
70 . * Think of comprehensive solution for "if (grace_b == self_grace_b_)"
71 . * String[String.length] doesn't trap.
72 . * Rhythmic_column and interaction stem/rhythmic_column/note_head/dots.
75 . * Lookup::text -> needs to be TeX independent.
76 . * junk Music_iterator::first_b_
79 . * half-sharps, half-flats
80 . * adaptive accidental spacing.
81 . * accidentals closer to note head
85 . * [c8. c16 c16 c16] in 6/8 timesig.
86 . * Rewrite Stem, Beam (hairy)
87 . * beams over barlines
88 . * Rests and beams don't work too well together. Example:
89 [ r8 g''16 des'] [r8 c16 a]
90 . * autoBeamMelisma: if I explicitly beam notes in a staff with auto
91 beaming disabled I would like to have these beams also to be
93 . * The stemLength property should affect also beamed stems.
94 . * staffside spanner (crescendo!) along with staffswitch.
95 . * * auto melismaBusy for beams.
102 . * sort out breve shapes.
103 . * \time forces keysig?
106 . * We need feta-din*.mf files for more sizes than 10.
107 . * align left edge of broken tuplet-spanner (have a test case?)
108 . * fix dynamics decently, ie. use kerning & ligatures.
109 . * key restorations & repeats
110 . * paperXX.ly \quartwidth, font setting not up to date. (Should read from AFM?)
111 . *In Caro Mio Ben, bar 8, there's a syllable that starts on a note, and
112 ends on a pair of grace notes. Standard practice is to mark this with
113 a slur starting on the main note and ending on the grace note, so a
114 singer knows where to break the words.
116 In bar 27, there's a crescendo that's supposed to start at the start
117 of the grace notes and extend to the note after the grace notes.
118 . * 4. Lyrics and grace sections don't go too well together.
119 The words are aligned with the main note, not the start of the
120 grace note. This is usually wrong, but is sometimes right.
122 . * repeats and partial measures.
123 . * rhythmic staff & accidentals.
124 . * use melismaBusy in Lyric context to typeset melismata correctly.
125 . * ly2dvi/lilypond logfile.
126 . * hang Item on Spanner
127 . * do --safe for PS output?
129 . * collision of lyrics with span_bars. See star-spangled.
130 . * It is impossible to typeset two textual scripts that are stacked
131 on top of eachother and avoids note collisions and at the same
132 time are typeset with different textStyle. I tried to move around
133 the text_engraver and other engravers between Voice and Thread
134 but the granularity is not fine enough, the scripts have to
135 share the same engraver in order to be get correct vertical
136 position but than they cannot have different style.
137 In my opinion, all scripts that share the same staff, should
138 be stacked vertically, avoiding collisions with the notes
142 . * don't shorten stems/staffs closer to each other.
143 . * to space the staffs/staffgroups contained in the score.
146 . * tuplets that are written as "number : note", for example
147 "3 : [image of a half note here]". possible?
148 . * a note with a circle after it, meaning:
150 note + circle = note + 1/4 of its length
152 the circle is like a dot that's not filled in. for example, on
153 page three, the c-sharp on the second line should be a quarter with
154 a circle, not a quarter tied to a sixteenth. is this at all
156 . * make dependencies () a virtual function.
157 . * deprecate hangOnClef.
158 . * Abstraction for engravers:
159 . * make "in-between" engraver (Tie)
160 . * make wide_spanner_engraver (line_group_spanner, staff_symbol)
161 . * store req -> element, element -> element causes for warnings
162 . * compulsory hshift
163 . * My wish list for lyrics. I dream of a time when I will have enough time to
164 become familiar enough with the source code to be able to implement some of
165 these myself, but I don't know when that will be, so I thought I'd "publish"
166 my suggestions in case someone else is in a position to give them some
167 priority. Otherwise, perhaps they could go on the todo list?
169 If any of these are already implemented, please let me what the syntax is to
172 1. Stanza numbering. Numbering at the beginning of a song with the number
173 set to the left of the first note. It would also be nice (but not as
174 important) to be able to have some form of automatic numbering at the
175 beginning of each new line. This would make it easier to follow songs with a
176 large number of stanzas.
178 3. Notes centred above/below lyrics rather than left-aligned.
180 4. It would be very nice to be able to build some kind of phrasing into the
181 lyrics of hymns, etc, so that the first words of a phrase are left aligned
182 with each other, the last words are right aligned, and the words in between
185 5. In a song, with (say) four stanzas and a chorus, it would be nice to be
186 able to vertically align the chorus midway between the staves.
188 6. It would be nice to be able to put vertical brackets either side of a
189 repeated section with different words for each repeat.
190 . * Give # lines in linebreaking.
192 . * rewrite context defs using Scheme
193 . * junk TeX specifics from internal code.
194 . * \selectmusic to cut pieces from music.
195 . * formatting of input stuff.
197 . * TODO: merge atom & molecule; make tree from molecule.
198 . * Align_element::padding ?
199 . * use streambufs and iostream
200 to provide IO handling for TeX stream, mudela stream, data-file.
201 . * seriously buffer TeX output (do profile of writing .5 mb TeX file.)
202 . * fix partial measures in meaningful way.
203 . * uniformise recent feta contributions.

222 <{\voiceone cis4. cis8 cis4 | cis4 cis cis | r1 }
223 {\voicetwo cis,4 r r | r2. | r1 }> |
225 . * Musical_pitch (analogous to Duration and Rhythmic_req)
226 think about, analogous to pitch:
227 * { a4 a16 } c <-- duration of c?
228 * < a4 b8 > c <-- duration of c?
230 . * make sure all ex's have a mudela-version
231 . * do rest-collisions for Multi_measure_rests as well.
232 . * split error/warning in error/warning/non_fatal_error
233 . * add a Duration_convert member to Duration_iter to set parameters.
234 Junk global duration settings.
235 . * discourage breaking of slurs
236 . * fix variable define/lookup parser global<->paper
237 . * fix title/instrument placements; see input/test/title.ly
238 . * <\voiceone c4. \voicetwo c4>
239 . * I'd like to change the \repetitions command to Jan's suggested
240 syntax: \repeat "repeatsymbol" 2 {...}, but I'm not sure that
241 I understand the implementation of repeats well enough.
242 . * add mudela-book-doc source to webstie.
243 . * fix singleStaffBracket
245 . * partial -> anacrouse
246 . * move paper vars into engraver properties
247 . * add new glyphs to font.ly

251 . * make LilyPond RPM fully relocatable

254 . * clefs (AG): The "8" should appear closer to the actual clef,
256 . * put errorlevel in Input class
257 . * junk nesting slurs
261 . * the bracket is ugly (wings are too parabolic, should be more circular)
262 . * versioning for Feta
263 . * rewrite dynamic signs. They're kind of spaghetti now.
264 . * The `3' in the meter key is a one or two pixels too thin (at 600dpi)

373 . * output header info to MIDI too.

402 . * ornaments (and trills?)
406 > Would it be hard to add support for proper dynamics in MIDI output? I
407 > would really like to have this feature...
409 Concretely spoken, for dynamics you have to write a performer
410 (Dynamics_performer), that will take the input requests. If I
411 understand correctly, every MIDI note played must have its dynamic
412 strength set separately. That means the the Dynamics_performer must
413 set the strength of every Audio_note it finds. This means that one
414 has to modify existing Audio items. The best way of doing this is
415 with a broadcast/acknowledge process.
417 So the best way of handling this, is
419 1 supporting dynamic settings in Audio_note
421 2 Write a Dynamics_performer that will modify
422 any notes it finds to set appropriate strengths.
424 I'd say that the work involved is not hard, but you have to be fluent
425 with C++ and need some insight into the working of Notation Contexts
426 and friends. I guess I could do it in a day or so, but if you are not
427 so fluent with the inner workings of LilyPond, it could take you some
428 more time (A few more days?).
430 Please note, that I am *not* going to code this myself: my days are
431 valuable, and I think I have more interesting things to do than fixing
432 the MIDI output (I don't even have a soundcard). But I *do* want to help
433 you or other people with implementing this, so if you need help, don't
435 . * account for rhythmic position in measure

456 . * merge key{item} & localkey{item}?
460 . * redo Notehead to allow digits as heads
