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
9 * Redo MIDI output to use Translators
10 - remember more horizontal info than melodics:
18 * strict separation between visual and auditive processing.
20 * fix depcy/dept stuff in eg. Beam.
22 * whole head on ledger line
28 * implement better breaking algorithm
32 * decent TeX page layout
34 * enter script priority
36 * a Hands on tutorial [HKN]
41 - adapt for multiple font sizes.
42 - make separate class for Grace_*_engravers
43 (which is at Voice_gravs level)
44 - move stem, beam, slur into baseclass to adapt for (fixed size) grace notes.
46 * accidentals per Voice_group
48 * Convert all ref/bib stuff into BibTeX.
50 * Output class, handles : (smallish)
51 - help text /(c) notice?
53 - warning /errors/progress
54 - abort on error/warning; exit status
55 - quiet/ignore-version options
58 * elaborate Staff_side baseclass:
63 * Output an output format independent (ofi) typeset file; and
64 make ofi2 TeX, MusixTex, PostScript, Ascii... interpreters. (difficult)
65 - poor man's ascii output possible?
66 - MusixTeX output possible? (would have to be done before break calc.)
68 - Common Music Notation
69 - PostScript output (esp. Beams, Slurs, etc)
70 - Move PScore, Items, Spanners etc. into libmutype.a
72 * separate Score_elem settings in user-settable (properties
73 .. ) and non-user-settable part. Maybe use something like X-resources:
74 "Staff=oboe*dir: 0", "Staff=*.Voice_group=solo*dir: 1"
76 * TeX spanners , use texbeam.cc as an example (smallish)
81 * Rewrite Stem, Beam and Rhythmic_grouping (hairy)
84 - doc on Rhythmic_grouping
85 - general shaving on Beam and Stem
87 - abbreviations [c2 c2]1/2
88 - separate visual from rhythmic info even more
93 - rename mf fonts to avoid conflicts with musixtex
94 - use own fonts/update musixtex fonts/find older (c)-less fonts
95 - hack up mf sources for decent spacing info (and then
96 read AFM/TFM directly, for text too)
97 - use MF to generate rules.
100 - Ledger lines, should be separate item: Ledger_lines, Ledger_lines
101 - set different line sizes / thicknesses
102 - stem down too far right
103 - beam stem showthrough, inter beam sizes (french vs german style)
106 - bring Collision::do_pre_processing to haircutter
107 - left/right note balls should be handled by Collision:
108 < \multi 2; { \stem 1; <b c> } { <f as b> } >
111 - merge key{item} & localkey{item}?
112 - do conventional keys (C G A, F B E, a e fis, d as des, etc ),
113 besides lists of flats/sharps, possibly via declaration
115 - key undo: \key bes; .. . \key; should print natural
116 - special key: \key 'b bes bis';
117 - spacing, national styles?
120 * Duration -> Musical_duration, typedef Rational Duration?
124 tekst staat erg ver van notenbalken af
128 * fix mysterious Flex malloc bug
130 * should adjust stemlength for flag number.
132 * lilypond - -> crash
134 * standchen triool beam up/down
136 * (where are the) gcc compile warnings on linux
144 * barnumbers, markers
146 * abbreviations c4=16
150 * c4 4 4 4 for c4 c4 c4 c4?
152 * neatly (and readably) expressing concurrent
157 * should have \require{package.ly} to read req'd packages.
169 * relative mode for pitch entering
171 * bracket (bracketplets)
175 * configure pitch_byte
179 * rest name configurable
183 * subtime with Subtle_reqs
187 * Do RTTI i.s.o. static_name(), name() and request-junk.
191 * A range for context errors (eg. mark both { and }. )
193 * lyric in staff (sharpsharp in staff, text below)
195 * fix Egler definitions ( see tex/eglerdefs.tex )
197 * replace Score_elem member access by get()/set() methods, to enable
198 future embedded code.
200 * --fast/--draft: leave out constraints
202 * write Dynamic_line (to group dynamics horizontally)
204 * write Rest_collision
206 * use Real for y positions.
208 * shared lib on Solaris too.
210 * bugreport to doc++ devel: struct not in class hier; public
213 * get rid of init_end;
215 * cleanup lily-proto.hh and proto.hh
217 * half-sharps, half-flats

233 * use dstream feature in mi2mu
235 * qtor, btor, mtor-> tor( QUIET_ver ), tor( DEBUG_ver ), etc.
236 - use tors feature in lily (?)
240 * declare notenametab?
242 * midi esp.: use I32 iso int where 32 bits are needed (or assumed...)

247 yy_scan_buffer in C++..
249 * binsearch/hash for identifiers

312 * scoping in Lexer: do general id- assignments in mudela.
316 * create libmudela, or liblily_frontend
318 * move MIDI stuff (including Quantization) to a ANSI C libmidi library.
