46 \translator with no name and without assigning it to an
51 * \type Voice \times 2/3 { [c8 c16 c16 c16 c16] }
53 * fix singleStaffBracket

104 * strip EXEs before installing
106 * zip target for binary windows dist (JBR)
108 * revise documentation
110 * junking \skip req in lyrics

152 gs: Error: /undefined in draw_beam
155 * run texhash after installing .tex
157 * fix vertical alignment and stafflines
159 * GrandStaff needs more work -- I want a single word
160 `harpsichord' to the left of the grandstaff, not one on each
161 stave. (Organ staff -- with separate pedal -- but common
162 properties may be something to think about. Of course for
163 organ you want to be able to give stop indications on the way
164 through, so the \property Voice.Instrument would be a stop,
165 and \property GrandStaff.instrument would be PipeOrgan...)
167 * make Tie_req a "command" { <c g> ~ <c g> }

193 - NEWS: ... Musical_pitch (analogous to Duration and Rhythmic_req)
194 think about, analogous to pitch:
195 * { a4 a16 } c <-- duration of c?
196 * <a4 b8> c <-- duration of c?
200 * fix audio-items (don't use (input) requests, but copy data)
202 * junk My_lily_parser::abbrev_beam_type_i_

260 * disable spaces in TeX stuff
262 * handle ^C for tmp/file creation.
264 * dots & rest collisions.
272 * versioning for Feta
274 * the warning about the negative slur/tie length appears twice
277 * The `3' in the meter key is a one or two pixels too thin (at 600dpi)
280 * the bracket is ugly (wings are too parabolic, should be more circular)
282 * better hshift (dots, distance, head dependent)
284 * clefs (AG): The "8" should appear closer to the actual clef,
287 * put errorlevel in Input class
291 * integrate midi-elts from mi2mu and lily?
294 FMR: Free memory read:
295 * This is occurring while in:

335 hunk, or on allegedly unsorted hunks in a diff, it may stop
336 without a trace of failure (create .rej file, print error or
337 dump core) and just ignore any further diffs.
341 f = fopen ("/dev/null", "r")

382 - bartypes (get rid of derived Span_bar_engravers)
387 - optimal pagebreaking.
389 * Unicode support? -> man 7 unicode
392 - detect of 16/8 bit files

474 - PostScript output (esp. Beams, Slurs, etc)
475 - Move all Score_elems, into libmutype.a
479 - Doc (C) stuff of sheet music
480 - a better format? SGML? TeX? Info?
