1 Features you cannot find in the doco as working, should be mentioned here.
3 This is an assorted collection of stuff that will be done, might be
4 done, or is an idea that I want to think about
6 Most of the items are marked in the code as well, with full explanation.
7 grep for TODO and ugh/ugr

80 * read from mmap directly: bugreport to flex developers->
81 yy_scan_buffer in C++..
83 * (where are the) gcc compile warnings on linux
100 - adapt for multiple font sizes.
101 - make separate class for Grace_*_engravers

156 read AFM/TFM directly, for text too)
157 - use MF to generate rules.

167 - bring Collision::do_pre_processing to haircutter
168 - left/right note balls should be handled by Collision:
169 < \multi 2; { \stem 1; <b c> } { <f as b> } >
172 - merge key{item} & localkey{item}?
173 - do conventional keys (C G A, F B E, a e fis, d as des, etc ),
174 besides lists of flats/sharps, possibly via declaration
176 - key undo: \key bes; .. . \key; should print natural
177 - special key: \key 'b bes bis';
178 - spacing, national styles?
181 * Duration -> Musical_duration, typedef Rational Duration?
185 * should adjust stemlength for flag number.
187 * lilypond - -> crash
195 * barnumbers, markers

242 * lyric in staff (sharpsharp in staff, text below)
244 * fix Egler definitions ( see tex/eglerdefs.tex )
246 * replace Score_elem member access by get()/set() methods, to enable
