5 IMPORTANT NOTE: The current selection scheme for time signature
6 symbols is not flexible enough for future extensions such as various
7 flavours of early mensural notation or complex signatures as in
8 contemporary music. Therefore, the semantics of time-signature
9 properties will quite definitely change, and maybe the syntax of the
10 \time request will possibly be extended. See the input file for TODOs.
18 two examples what might be expected. -- jr
20 TODO: The former "old6/8alt" is currently not addressable. This will
21 be fixed by introducing an additional style property that switches
22 between various mensural diminution styles. -- jr
24 TODO: Style "1xxx" really should be a special case of style
25 "numbered". In other words, style "1xxx" should be removed, and a new
26 property "denominator-style" should be introduced, with values
27 "numbered" (which should be equivalent to the current "numbered"
28 style), "none" (which should be equivalent to the current "1xxx"
29 style), and "notehead" (which should place a proper notehead to the
30 right side of the nominator). -- jr
