1 Features you cannot find in the doco as working, should be mentioned her.
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
16 * implement better breaking algorithm
20 * use Hungarian throughout code
22 * decent TeX page layout
26 * a Hands on tutorial [HKN]
29 * Output class, handles : (smallish)
30 - help text /(c) notice?
32 - warning /errors/progress
33 - abort on error/warning; exit status
34 - quiet/ignore-version options
37 * elaborate Staff_side baseclass:
42 * Output an output format independent (ofi) typeset file; and
43 make ofi2 TeX, MusixTex, PostScript, Ascii... interpreters. (difficult)
44 - poor man's ascii output possible?
45 - MusixTeX output possible? (would have to be done before break calc.)
47 - PostScript output (esp. Beams, Slurs, etc)
48 - Move PScore, Items, Spanners etc. into libmutype.a
51 * separate Score_elem settings in user-settable (properties
52 .. ) and non-user-settable part.
54 * TeX spanners , use texbeam.cc as an example (smallish)
59 * Rewrite Stem, Beam and Rhythmic_grouping (hairy)
62 - doc on Rhythmic_grouping
63 - general shaving on Beam and Stem
65 - abbreviations [c2 c2]1/2
66 - separate visual from rhythmic info even more
69 * Redo MIDI output to use Registers: (Difficult)
70 - remember more horizontal info than melodics:
79 - rename mf fonts to avoid conflicts with musixtex
81 - use own fonts/update musixtex fonts/find older (c)-less fonts
82 - hack up mf sources for decent spacing info (and then
83 read AFM/TFM directly, for text too)
87 - Ledger lines, should be separate item: Ledger_lines, Ledger_lines_reg
88 - set different line sizes / thicknesses
89 - stem down too far right
90 - beam stem showthrough, inter beam sizes (french vs german style)
93 - bring Collision::do_pre_processing to haircutter
94 - left/right note balls should be handled by Collision:
95 < \multivoice { \stem 1; <b c> } { <f as b> } >
98 - merge key{item} & localkey{item}?
99 - do conventional keys (C G A, F B E, a e fis, d as des, etc ),
100 besides lists of flats/sharps, possibly via declaration
102 - key undo: \key bes; .. . \key; should print natural
103 - special key: \key 'b bes bis';
104 - spacing, national styles?
107 * Duration -> Musical_duration, typedef Rational Duration?
111 tekst staat erg ver van notenbalken af
113 waarom geen ; achter dingen in \paper? (\textwidth 180\mm)
114 (sowieso: wanneer wel en geen ; ?)
116 Onduidelijk wanneer wel en geen \ voor een woord. Maak liever
121 * spurious Weird stem size warnings
123 * staccato dot positions.
127 * lilypond - -> crash
129 * standchen triool beam up/down
131 * (where are the) gcc compile warnings on linux
140 FURTHER FOR ORCHESTRAL SCORE:
144 * barnumbers, markers
146 * abbreviations c4=16
150 * should have \require{package.ly} to read req'd packages.
152 * relative mode for pitch entering
154 * bracket (bracketplets)
158 * configure pitch_byte
162 * rest name configurable
166 * subtime with Subtle_reqs
170 * Do RTTI i.s.o. static_name(), name() and request-junk.
172 * add remove() methods to all items/spanners.
176 * A range for context errors (eg. mark both { and }. )
178 * text in staff (sharpsharp in staff, text below)
180 * replace Score_elem member access by get()/set() methods, to enable
181 future embedded code.
183 * --fast/--draft: leave out constraints
185 * write Dynamic_line (to group dynamics horizontally)
187 * write Rest_collision
189 * use Real for y positions.
191 * shared lib on Solaris too.
193 * bugreport to doc++ devel: struct not in class hier; public
196 * cleanup lily-proto.hh and proto.hh
198 * half-sharps, half-flats
200 * adaptive accidental spacing.
202 * Score_elem invisible_b_ flag
204 * unix style paths for LILYINCLUDE env
206 * indentable stream as baseclass for TeX stream, lily stream, Dstream.
208 * handle EOF graciously in error messages.
210 * caching Item/spanner dimensions.
212 * centered whole rest
214 * caching breakpoints / saving them.
216 * use dstream feature in mi2mu
218 * qtor, btor, mtor-> tor( QUIET_ver ), tor( DEBUG_ver ), etc.
219 - use tors feature in lily (?)
223 * declare notenametab?
225 * midi esp.: use I32 iso int where 32 bits are needed (or assumed...)
229 * read from mmap directly: bugreport to flex developers->
230 yy_scan_buffer in C++..
232 * binsearch/hash for identifiers
234 * stafftypes: voice names/ instrument names.
236 * Decent TeX titledefs (\tempo, \metron, etc. )
238 * C meter iso 4/4, idem for alla breve, etc.
240 * textspanner: center position
246 * caching of Register_group_register hierarchies.
248 * use (char *) iso. String for communication between lexer and
251 * configure idealspacing: arithmetic spacing
253 * LilyPond .deb. Other packaging methods?
258 * Score_elem structure.
262 * config of TeX macros
270 * auxilliary file for caching info.
272 * Reg_configure_request
274 * slur parts as a script
278 * put scripts on bars
282 * Junk Staff_column, and find the requests while walking the
285 * better beamslope calculation: QLP for beams?
289 * clean solution for staffsize in items.
296 * check out CORBA for Score_elems?
298 * derive PCol from Score_elem? More in Score_elems? Spacing?
300 * scoping in Lexer: do general id- assignments in mudela.
304 * create libmudela, or liblily_frontend
306 * move MIDI stuff (including Quantization) to a ANSI C libmidi library.
308 * use an embedded language: Python
314 * y -dims in internote?
316 * merge Atom and Symbol?
318 * merge common code of Item, Atom/Molecule
320 * Spacing_request for manually adjusting spacing
322 * Staff_group, Score_request_register.
324 * Meters/bars should be aligned, which is difficult if
325 we get different keychanges in different staffs.
327 * Horizontal_align item for meter,bar etc.
329 * caching breakpoints
335 * used fixedpoint arithmetic for min. energy.
337 * default convert mudela-file.ly -> mudela-file.tex
338 - rename {standchen,scsii-menuetto,...}.tex
340 * (related with above) --simple-mudela option for lily,
341 to lily input files with one-voice simple mudela
344 * stack scripts in chords:
345 % fingering: footing:
346 < a-4 c-2 g-1 > < c-\ltoe e-\lheel >
348 * parameterised scripts for fingering and footing:
350 % toe to bheel four to five
356 (where "to" is a tiny bow)
358 * move towards incremental algorithms.
