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 * whole head on ledger line
15 * implement better breaking algorithm
19 * use Hungarian throughout code

23 * enter script priority
25 * a Hands on tutorial [HKN]
29 * accidentals per Voice_group
31 * Convert all ref/bib stuff into BibTeX.
33 * Output class, handles : (smallish)
34 - help text /(c) notice?
36 - warning /errors/progress
37 - abort on error/warning; exit status
38 - quiet/ignore-version options
41 * elaborate Staff_side baseclass:
46 * Output an output format independent (ofi) typeset file; and
47 make ofi2 TeX, MusixTex, PostScript, Ascii... interpreters. (difficult)
48 - poor man's ascii output possible?
49 - MusixTeX output possible? (would have to be done before break calc.)
51 - Common Music Notation
52 - PostScript output (esp. Beams, Slurs, etc)
53 - Move PScore, Items, Spanners etc. into libmutype.a
55 * separate Score_elem settings in user-settable (properties
56 .. ) and non-user-settable part. Maybe use something like X-resources:
57 "Staff=oboe*dir: 0", "Staff=*.Voice_group=solo*dir: 1"
59 * TeX spanners , use texbeam.cc as an example (smallish)
64 * Rewrite Stem, Beam and Rhythmic_grouping (hairy)
67 - doc on Rhythmic_grouping
68 - general shaving on Beam and Stem
70 - abbreviations [c2 c2]1/2
71 - separate visual from rhythmic info even more
74 * Redo MIDI output to use Registers: (Difficult)
75 - remember more horizontal info than melodics:
84 - rename mf fonts to avoid conflicts with musixtex
86 - use own fonts/update musixtex fonts/find older (c)-less fonts
87 - hack up mf sources for decent spacing info (and then
88 read AFM/TFM directly, for text too)
91 - Ledger lines, should be separate item: Ledger_lines, Ledger_lines_reg
92 - set different line sizes / thicknesses
93 - stem down too far right
94 - beam stem showthrough, inter beam sizes (french vs german style)
97 - bring Collision::do_pre_processing to haircutter
98 - left/right note balls should be handled by Collision:
99 < \multi 2; { \stem 1; <b c> } { <f as b> } >
102 - merge key{item} & localkey{item}?
103 - do conventional keys (C G A, F B E, a e fis, d as des, etc ),
104 besides lists of flats/sharps, possibly via declaration
106 - key undo: \key bes; .. . \key; should print natural
107 - special key: \key 'b bes bis';
108 - spacing, national styles?
111 * Duration -> Musical_duration, typedef Rational Duration?
115 tekst staat erg ver van notenbalken af
117 Onduidelijk wanneer wel en geen \ voor een woord. Maak liever
122 * spurious Weird stem size warnings
124 * fix mysterious Flex malloc bug
126 * should adjust stemlength for flag number.
128 * lilypond - -> crash
132 * standchen triool beam up/down
134 * (where are the) gcc compile warnings on linux
143 FURTHER FOR ORCHESTRAL SCORE:
147 * barnumbers, markers
149 * abbreviations c4=16
153 * c4 4 4 4 for c4 c4 c4 c4?
155 * neatly (and readably) expressing concurrent
160 * should have \require{package.ly} to read req'd packages.
172 * relative mode for pitch entering
174 * bracket (bracketplets)
178 * configure pitch_byte
182 * rest name configurable
186 * subtime with Subtle_reqs
190 * Do RTTI i.s.o. static_name(), name() and request-junk.
194 * A range for context errors (eg. mark both { and }. )
196 * lyric in staff (sharpsharp in staff, text below)
198 * fix Egler definitions ( see tex/eglerdefs.tex )
200 * replace Score_elem member access by get()/set() methods, to enable
201 future embedded code.
203 * --fast/--draft: leave out constraints
205 * write Dynamic_line (to group dynamics horizontally)
207 * write Rest_collision
209 * use Real for y positions.
211 * shared lib on Solaris too.
213 * bugreport to doc++ devel: struct not in class hier; public
216 * get rid of init_end;
218 * cleanup lily-proto.hh and proto.hh
220 * half-sharps, half-flats
222 * adaptive accidental spacing.
224 * unix style paths for LILYINCLUDE env
226 * indentable stream as baseclass for TeX stream, lily stream, Dstream.
228 * handle EOF graciously in error messages.
230 * caching Item/spanner dimensions.
232 * centered whole rest
234 * caching breakpoints / saving them.
236 * use dstream feature in mi2mu
238 * qtor, btor, mtor-> tor( QUIET_ver ), tor( DEBUG_ver ), etc.
239 - use tors feature in lily (?)
243 * declare notenametab?
245 * midi esp.: use I32 iso int where 32 bits are needed (or assumed...)
249 * read from mmap directly: bugreport to flex developers->
250 yy_scan_buffer in C++..
252 * binsearch/hash for identifiers
254 * stafftypes: voice names/ instrument names.
256 * Decent TeX titledefs (\tempo, \metron, etc. )
258 * C meter iso 4/4, idem for alla breve, etc.
260 * textspanner: center position
266 * use (char *) iso. String for communication between lexer and
269 * configure idealspacing: arithmetic spacing
271 * LilyPond .deb. Other packaging methods?
276 * Score_elem structure.
280 * config of TeX macros
288 * auxilliary file for caching info.
290 * Reg_configure_request
292 * slur parts as a script
296 * put scripts on bars
300 * better beamslope calculation: QLP for beams?
304 * clean solution for staffsize in items.
311 * check out CORBA for Score_elems?
313 * derive PCol from Score_elem? More in Score_elems? Spacing?
315 * scoping in Lexer: do general id- assignments in mudela.
319 * create libmudela, or liblily_frontend
321 * move MIDI stuff (including Quantization) to a ANSI C libmidi library.
323 * use an embedded language: Python
329 * y -dims in internote?
331 * merge Atom and Symbol?
333 * merge common code of Item, Atom/Molecule
335 * Spacing_request for manually adjusting spacing
337 * caching breakpoints
343 * used fixedpoint arithmetic for min. energy.
345 * default convert mudela-file.ly -> mudela-file.tex
346 - rename {standchen,scsii-menuetto,...}.tex
348 * stack scripts in chords:
349 % fingering: footing:
350 < a-4 c-2 g-1 > < c-\ltoe e-\lheel >
352 * parameterised scripts for fingering and footing:
354 % toe to bheel four to five
360 (where "to" is a tiny bow)
362 * move towards incremental algorithms.
