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 . * control paper-size/-file from commandline ?

16 lilypond --paper=paper-as9 foo.ly
17 . * entangle ly/* paper-params papersize stuff
19 . * change ) c4 to c4-)
21 There's insufficient leading between lines of lyrics, so risers like
22 `l' and 'b' collide with the bottom of the line above.
24 Also the lines are unevenly spaced.
26 . * write comments in the source code
27 . * internationalize GUILE msgs.
29 1> The volta brackets are on top of the lyrics. This problem existed in
30 1.2.x which I corrected by giving the brackets a vertical size. I
31 have not had the time to check what is going on in 1.3.
33 2> Part names are being written on top of the staff and not in the
36 3> The tag at the end is spaced out clear across the page. (new problem
39 I also get the following error messages from ly2dvi.
42 -- Take a piece of early music, and typeset it as closely as possible to
43 the original edition. This means: moveable clefs, sometimes funny or no
44 time signatures, few or no bar lines, few or no ties, slurs or
45 phrasemarks, ornaments implied by the structure of the music, or
46 indicated by, e.g., one or more thick lines through the stem of a note
47 (Purcell and Farnaby both use this extensively, but with rather
48 different meanings). For Dowland's music it may also mean being able
49 to rotate one or more staves (but I can do this in LaTeX).
51 -- Add to this music a set of critical marks that:
52 * regularises clef, time and key signature.
53 * add slurs, phrase marks, articulation, etc.
54 * Halve or quarter the durations, so that minims become crotchets, say.
55 * add ornaments (mordents, trills, turns etc)
56 * add regular barlines (which sometimes will mean splitting a note
57 and adding a tie, e.g., in some of Byrd's music)
58 * Add footnotes to particular symbols, groups of notes, etc.
59 * When translating from chant notation, add a square bracket over a
60 group of notes to indicate a ligature in the original
62 * Discretionary sharp or flat signs, for Musica Ficta
64 -- print out both editions from the same source.
65 . * write smobifying howto.
66 . * put property test files in refman.
67 . * alignment within @itemize
69 . * junk dstream output.
70 . * Change website to be index to documentation.
71 . * \grace { c d } c1 in midi
72 . * \prop slurdir in grace notes
73 . * Make fingering and playing instructions Music_wrappers?
75 . * Must stop before this music ends:
77 . * input/test/grace.sly: wierd big spacing on grace notes
79 . * make a TODO.texi, like http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/ideas.html
80 . * make this file understandable for 3rd parties.
81 . * \accepts -> \acceptedby
82 . * context in embedded SCM errors.
83 . * acc at tied note after linebreak.
84 . * fontSize for time sigs and beams.
85 . * fix font-naming and selecting
86 . * add context information to warnings
88 waarschuwing: Kan niet beide uiteinden van bindingsboog vinden
90 pa.ly:33:23: waarschuwing: Schroot verzoek: `Span_req':
93 . * chord tonic: placement of accidental C#, Cb (from scm and C++)
94 . * note head on stem err msg in dutch.
95 . * why need to run -C mf twice?
96 . * here's no difference at all in output. When either is jacked up to 7.0,
97 everything works and matches up; when either is set just a bit above the
98 default 5.0 (5.4 is what I was hoping to use), stems miss note heads. So
99 it's some sort of a numerical (truncation/roundoff) problem.
101 . * fix #'margin-shape; setting indent to 0 with \shape fails
102 . * Fixed size staff/system heights;
103 . * ly2dvi : don't repeat opus if same.
104 . * hara kiri _8 clef.
108 . * Added StaffContents and RhythmicStaffContents context, they are
109 between Staff (which groups the elements), and generates the Staff
110 level elements (key, clef, meter, etc). This construction makes
111 \consistsend redundant
114 - if I change the property minVerticalAlign in a multi staff score with
115 lyrics the change affects the lyrics too. I would like the change to
116 _only_ affect staves.
117 - after the leading measure in the above mentioned score I want a double
118 bar line fully drawn across the staves and after that keep to the
119 ChoirStaff bar line types in the rest of the scores
120 . * Write script that uses --find-old-relative to do auto relativization.
124 . * \$ and $ identifier syntax in examples.
125 . * Key_engraver, Local_key_item
126 . * Think of comprehensive solution for "if (grace_b == self_grace_b_)"
127 . * String[String.length] doesn't trap.
128 . * Rhythmic_column and interaction stem/rhythmic_column/note_head/dots.
131 . * Lookup::text -> needs to be TeX independent.
132 . * junk Music_iterator::first_b_
135 . * half-sharps, half-flats
136 . * adaptive accidental spacing.
137 . * accidentals closer to note head
141 . * [c8. c16 c16 c16] in 6/8 timesig.
142 . * Rewrite Stem, Beam (hairy)
143 . * beams over barlines
144 . * autoBeamMelisma: if I explicitly beam notes in a staff with auto
145 beaming disabled I would like to have these beams also to be
147 . * The stemLength property should affect also beamed stems.
148 . * staffside spanner (crescendo!) along with staffswitch.
149 . * * auto melismaBusy for beams.
155 . * \time forces keysig?
158 . * We need feta-din*.mf files for more sizes than 10.
159 . * align left edge of broken tuplet-spanner (have a test case?)
160 . * fix dynamics decently, ie. use kerning & ligatures.
161 . * key restorations & repeats
162 . * paperXX.ly \quartwidth, font setting not up to date. (Should read from AFM?)
163 . *In Caro Mio Ben, bar 8, there's a syllable that starts on a note, and
164 ends on a pair of grace notes. Standard practice is to mark this with
165 a slur starting on the main note and ending on the grace note, so a
166 singer knows where to break the words.
168 In bar 27, there's a crescendo that's supposed to start at the start
169 of the grace notes and extend to the note after the grace notes.
170 . * 4. Lyrics and grace sections don't go too well together.
171 The words are aligned with the main note, not the start of the
172 grace note. This is usually wrong, but is sometimes right.
173 . * rhythmic staff & accidentals.
174 . * use melismaBusy in Lyric context to typeset melismata correctly.
175 . * ly2dvi/lilypond logfile.
176 . * hang Item on Spanner
177 . * do --safe for PS output?
179 . * collision of lyrics with span_bars. See star-spangled.
180 . * It is impossible to typeset two textual scripts that are stacked
181 on top of each other and avoids note collisions and at the same
182 time are typeset with different textStyle. I tried to move around
183 the text_engraver and other engravers between Voice and Thread
184 but the granularity is not fine enough, the scripts have to
185 share the same engraver in order to be get correct vertical
186 position but than they cannot have different style.
187 In my opinion, all scripts that share the same staff, should
188 be stacked vertically, avoiding collisions with the notes
192 . * don't shorten stems/staffs closer to each other.
193 . * to space the staffs/staffgroups contained in the score.
195 . * Abstraction for engravers:
196 . * make "in-between" engraver (Tie)
197 . * make wide_spanner_engraver (line_group_spanner, staff_symbol)
198 . * store req -> element, element -> element causes for warnings
199 . * My wish list for lyrics. I dream of a time when I will have enough time to
200 become familiar enough with the source code to be able to implement some of
201 these myself, but I don't know when that will be, so I thought I'd "publish"
202 my suggestions in case someone else is in a position to give them some
203 priority. Otherwise, perhaps they could go on the todo list?
205 If any of these are already implemented, please let me what the syntax is to
208 1. Stanza numbering. Numbering at the beginning of a song with the number
209 set to the left of the first note. It would also be nice (but not as
210 important) to be able to have some form of automatic numbering at the
211 beginning of each new line. This would make it easier to follow songs with a
212 large number of stanzas.
214 3. Notes centred above/below lyrics rather than left-aligned.
216 4. It would be very nice to be able to build some kind of phrasing into the
217 lyrics of hymns, etc, so that the first words of a phrase are left aligned
218 with each other, the last words are right aligned, and the words in between
221 5. In a song, with (say) four stanzas and a chorus, it would be nice to be
222 able to vertically align the chorus midway between the staves.
224 6. It would be nice to be able to put vertical brackets either side of a
225 repeated section with different words for each repeat.
226 . * Give # lines in linebreaking.
228 . * rewrite context defs using Scheme
229 . * junk TeX specifics from internal code.
230 . * \selectmusic to cut pieces from music.
231 . * formatting of input stuff.
233 . * Align_element::padding ?
234 . * use streambufs and iostream
235 to provide IO handling for TeX stream, mudela stream, data-file.
236 . * seriously buffer TeX output (do profile of writing .5 mb TeX file.)
237 . * uniformise recent feta contributions.
238 . * bigger and fatter 4/4 C
239 . * relative mode for midi2ly
240 . * junking \skip req in lyrics
241 . * midi2ly empty staffs.
242 . * use Fourier transformation for rhythmic quantisation.
243 . * horizontal centering of dynamics
244 . * $DEPENDENCIES_OUTPUT support
245 . * turn slope-damping on/off
246 . * sort out directory stuff.
248 . * -I option per filetype?
250 . * declaring Performers
251 . * text-items clash with stems/beams
252 . * --include, -I option for ly2dvi (pass on to lily)
253 . * fix placement of beam-less abbrev
254 . * Musical_pitch (analogous to Duration and Rhythmic_req)
255 think about, analogous to pitch:
256 * { a4 a16 } c <-- duration of c?
257 * < a4 b8 > c <-- duration of c?
259 . * do rest-collisions for Multi_measure_rests as well.
260 . * split error/warning in error/warning/non_fatal_error
261 . * discourage breaking of slurs
262 . * fix variable define/lookup parser global<->paper
263 . * fix title/instrument placements; see input/test/title.ly
264 . * <\voiceone c4. \voicetwo c4>
265 . * I'd like to change the \repetitions command to Jan's suggested
266 syntax: \repeat "repeatsymbol" 2 {...}, but I'm not sure that
267 I understand the implementation of repeats well enough.
268 . * add mudela-book-doc source to webstie.
269 . * fix singleStaffBracket
270 . * move paper vars into engraver properties
271 . * add new glyphs to font.ly
272 . * more intelligent file searching
273 . * disable spaces in TeX stuff
274 . * handle ^C for tmp/file creation.
275 . * make LilyPond RPM fully relocatable
276 . * didot / big point.
277 . * clefs (AG): The "8" should appear closer to the actual clef,
279 . * put errorlevel in Input class
280 . * junk nesting slurs
284 . * the bracket is ugly (wings are too parabolic, should be more circular)
285 . * fix accordion turning paths.
286 . * versioning for Feta
287 . * rewrite dynamic signs. They're kind of spaghetti now.
288 . * The `3' in the meter key is a one or two pixels too thin (at 600dpi)
290 . * design macro for penstroke with rounded endings
291 . * timesig C: fat yet less curved. Check out relations.
292 . * design decent macro for bulbed endings
293 . * printer dependencies.
296 . * work out sizes of character fonts.
298 . * piano pedals: Ped/*
299 . * coda signs: Segno, O+
300 . * glissando, arpeggio
302 . * include important spacing dims in fetalog
303 . * scalability: use blot_diameter everywhere, make font chubbier for
307 . * UMR: Uninitialized memory read

316 Address 0xefffeca8 is 728 bytes below frame pointer in function
317 . * patch: don't touch timestamp if all patches fail.
318 . * MetaPost: should not generate setgray for unfill
320 f = fopen ("/dev/null", "r")
325 . * stack scripts in chords:
326 % fingering: footing:
327 < a-4 c-2 g-1 > < c-\ltoe e-\lheel >
329 . * slur parts as a script
330 . * stack parameterised scripts for fingering and footing:
335 . * convert-mudela -e empty.ly
337 . * emacs mudela-mode
338 . * should handle block comments too.
339 . * handle lexer modes (\header, \melodic, \lyric) etc.
342 . * fontlock: \melodic \melodic
344 . * use properties for:
349 . * optimal pagebreaking.
351 . * internationalisation for input.
352 . * Unicode support? -> man 7 unicode
