+. * fix dynamics decently, ie. use kerning & ligatures.
+. * dots & rest collisions?
+. * mudela-book.py
+. * fix \mudelafile{} to have decent functionality
+. * P.P.S. It can be cool in mudela-book to distinguish in
+pre,postMudelaExample, whether MudelaExample is epsed or not: ( if
+this fragment is floating eps, than 1, otherwise 2). say
+preMudelaExample[eps]{}, and change it in document body sometimes.
+. * use less RE's
+. * slurs colllide with lyrics.
+. * Is there any reasonable way to do this: I would like to have one file
+that can generate the same tune in two different modes without having
+to go through and rewrite all the music in the other mode.
+
+Long lyrics don't get a space at the end. They just run right up
+against the next lyric. (I don't think this used to be the case.)
+
+Lyrics and scripts collide.
+
+\key b; \time 4/4; looks bad. The clef and time signature are too close.
+
+restStyle=mensural doesn't seem to work (lots of characters not found
+for rests.fly)
+. * Phrasing: Indicating the textual underlay of a piece, or
+otherwise dividing a piece into phrases.
+
+There are distinct ways of specifying the first two (although at
+present, they're not properly distinguished) but no distinct way to
+specify the third. Should there be?
+. * rest collision minimum dist.
+. * 1. is there a "no key signature mode" for lily yet so that i can just
+enter the notes without worrying about it instead of having to
+remember to put a "!" after each accidental?
+
+a note with a circle after it, meaning:
+
+ note + circle = note + 1/4 of its length
+
+ the circle is like a dot that's not filled in. for example, on
+ page three, the c-sharp on the second line should be a quarter with
+ a circle, not a quarter tied to a sixteenth. is this at all
+ possible with lily?
+tuplets that are written as "number : note", for example
+ "3 : [image of a half note here]". possible?
+"p+" and "p-" for dynamic markings. possible?
+. * repeat engraver, gallina.ly
+
+. * Matanya's tips:
+. * spacing for prefatory matter
+. * The line length is 7.5 inch (19.05
+cm) and the height of normal size is equivalent to the traditional raster 1
+> size. (The Schott company sells Letraset sheets of musical symbols which are
+> measured in raster sizes). It is agreed among most engravers I know that the
+> standard size for adult readers in solo music should 70% of raster 1. Jeff's
+> example was 75%, so I had to modify my file to match.
+
+So that makes for a staff space of 4 2/3 point. I'll add the
+dimensions to the TODO file.
+. * accidentals closer to note head
+. * to space the staffs/staffgroups contained in the score.
+
+In the orchestscore.ly file, I tried:
+\paper{

+ }
+ \translator {

+> Before, the font was changed with macros declared separately for

+> the generated code using the low-level TeX commands. This circumvents
+> the fontencoding mechanism of LaTeX and is a potential source of
+> problems also for us users of the Latin-1 character set.
+> I think it still works since the inputencoding latin1 is
+> declared by ly2dvi, but it still means that e.g. an o with
+> umlaut is typeset as a combination of the two symbols 'o' and
+> 'umlaut' instead of as a single character, as would be the case
+> if fontencoding OT1 had been used. This shouldn't give any
+> difference in layout, though. One of the main argument for using
+> fontencoding OT1 is for the hyphenation mechanism to work, an
+> argument that's clearly irrelevant in our application. Yet we

+> Would it be hard to add support for proper dynamics in MIDI output? I

+
+To answer this, I have to give a little background. Please say so if
+I am being obtuse.
+
+Both audio and notation elements are created decentrally, when
+LilyPond says "Interpreting music ... [8][16] etc." After all
+elements are created, they are processed again to calculate all
+parameters. After that is done, they are dumped onto the output (the
+MIDI stream or the TeX file).
+
+The audio and notation elements are created by objects called
+performer and engraver respectively. They work by taking a chunk of
+input (a so-called request), and using the request to create an audio
+or notation element.
+
+After some processing, the engraver sends the created elements to
+its enclosing notation/performance context.
+
+In the case of notation, engravers can also modify existing elements
+created by sibling engravers. Eg. the beam-engraver will modify stems
+when it creates a beam over a couple of stems. This is done in
+Engraver::do_acknowledge_element () and
+Engraver::do_process_acknowledged ().
+
+In the case of audio, there are no mechanisms to modify existing audio
+elements. After the audio elements are created, they are sent directly
+to the enclosing context (an instance of Performer_group_performer),
+through the method Performer::play ()
+
+Concretely spoken, for dynamics you have to write a performer
+(Dynamics_performer), that will take the input requests. If I
+understand correctly, every MIDI note played must have its dynamic
+strength set separately. That means the the Dynamics_performer must
+set the strength of every Audio_note it finds. This means that one
+has to modify existing Audio items. The best way of doing this is
+with a broadcast/acknowledge process.
+
+So the best way of handling this, is
+
+ 1 supporting dynamic settings in Audio_note
+
+ 2 mimicking the broadcast/acknowledge mechanism of the Engravers in
+ the Performers
+
+ 3 using that mechanism to write a Dynamics_performer that will modify
+ any notes it finds to set appropriate strengths.
+
+You could also kludge this by deriving from Performer_group_performer
+a performer that also sets dynamics within notes, but that is not the
+elegant way to do it.
+
+I'd say that the work involved is not hard, but you have to be fluent
+with C++ and need some insight into the working of Notation Contexts
+and friends. I guess I could do it in a day or so, but if you are not
+so fluent with the inner workings of LilyPond, it could take you some
+more time (A few more days?).
+
+Please note, that I am *not* going to code this myself: my days are
+valuable, and I think I have more interesting things to do than fixing
+the MIDI output (I don't even have a soundcard). But I *do* want to help
+you or other people with implementing this, so if you need help, don't
+hesitate to ask.

+
+Usually you can get away without having this interlinked structure.
+One piece of information you need when exporting objects to scheme is
+the smob tag for your class. You might store this value (a long) into
+a class static variable, or a file static variable. I'll use a class
+static variable in this example.
+
+I typically use code that works like this (untested code ahead):
+
+class Foo_class {
+ static long *Foo_smob_tag;
+ SCM obj; // representation as a scheme object, description comes later
+}
+
+// call this once on startup
+void init_Foo_class {
+ static scm_smobfuns type_rec;
+
+ type_rec.mark = foo_mark;
+ type_rec.free = foo_free;
+ type_rec.print = foo_display;
+ type_rec.equalp = 0;
+ Foo_class::Foo_smob_tag = new int(scm_new_smob(type_rec));
+}
+
+When you want to export an object to scheme, you put a pointer to the
+object itself in the cdr of the cell, and the tag in the car of the
+cell. The code looks like this:
+
+// Is this a Foo?
+static int
+foo_p(SCM obj)
+{
+ return(SCM_NIMP(obj) && SCM_CAR(obj) == Foo_class::Foo_smob_tag);
+}
+
+// given a Scheme representation, return, a C++ representation
+static Foo_class *
+foo_unbox(SCM obj)
+{
+ return((Foo_class*)SCM_CDR(obj));
+}
+
+// the SCM representation of the object is stored inside itself
+// this will become useful when destructor gets called
+static SCM
+foo_box(Foo_class *foo)
+{
+ SCM_DEFER_INTS;
+ SCM_NEWCELL(foo->obj);
+ SCM_SETCAR(foo->obj, Foo_class::Foo_smob_tag);
+ SCM_SETCDR(foo->obj, (SCM)foo);
+ SCM_ALLOW_INTS;
+ return foo->obj;
+}
+
+> C++ determines life time, so what is the strategy?
+
+What happens now when the destructor gets called? Lets set the cdr to
+NULL, and then check for that in all of the primitive functions that
+use your smob. We'll call this notion 'live'; a scheme object is
+'live' if the C++ representation still exists, it's dead if the C++
+object is gone. You can still have references to dead objects in
+scheme code; it's just an error to use them. This idea is stolen from
+Emacs's handling of buffers ('buffer-live-p' and friends).
+
+Add another function, foo_live_p:
+
+static int
+foo_live_p(SCM obj)
+{
+ return(foo_p(obj) && SCM_CDR(obj) != NULL);
+}
+
+In you destructor, you need to do:
+
+~Foo_class()
+{
+ SCM_CDR(this->obj, NULL);
+}
+
+When writing new primitives, now just check foo_live_p().
+
+I hope the above helps,
