This is an assorted collection of stuff that will be done, might be
done, or is an idea that I want to think about
Most of the items are marked in the code as well, with full explanation.

+ stave. (Organ staff -- with separate pedal -- but common
+ properties may be something to think about. Of course for
+ organ you want to be able to give stop indications on the way
+ through, so the \property Voice.Instrument would be a stop,
+ and \property GrandStaff.instrument would be PipeOrgan...)
-STUFF
+ * make Tie_req a "command" { <c g> ~ <c g> }

+
+ * add full cello suites to web site (kom op, Maarten!)
+
+ * Rethink Time_description
+ * \cadenza , \meter, \grouping should all be \properties

+ in the middle:
+
+ * the bracket is ugly (wings are too parabolic, should be more circular)

3RD PARTY BUGS:
- * Rational infty(HUGE_VAL) on glibc / w32
+ * redhat (v?) graphical install bomb-out?
+
+ * GNU diff 2.7: diff -rN does not see a new directory with empty file
+

+ hunk, or on allegedly unsorted hunks in a diff, it may stop
+ without a trace of failure (create .rej file, print error or
+ dump core) and just ignore any further diffs.
