-So how do I do what I want to do?
-
-In Caro Mio Ben, bar 8, there's a syllable that starts on a note, and
-ends on a pair of grace notes. Standard practice is to mark this with
-a slur starting on the main note and ending on the grace note, so a
-singer knows where to break the words.
-
-In bar 26, there's a \p marker that should appear below the grace
-note.
-
-In bar 27, there's a crescendo that's supposed to start at the start
-of the grace notes and extend to the note after the grace notes.
-
-How do I specify these?
-
-How can I control whether a grace note takes its time from the note
-before or the note after it (for the purposes of alignment with
-lyrics)?
-. * / distance after 4/4 \key.
-. * spanners from grace to normal ctxt
-. * Glen:
-1. I got a vertical line where I asked for a decrescendo.
-
-2. Slurs -- good to see some spacing between slurs and lyrics, but not
-there's several times too much space.
-
-3. Slurs with wrong slopes. Where a slur between two notes goes from the
-head of one to the stem of another it can have the wrong slope:
- | ___
- | / \
- | / |
- x|/ |
- |
- x|
- The music goes down but the slur goes up (or vice versa). This looks
-wrong.
-
-4. Lyrics and \fermata collide. I know that the TODO has lyrics and scripts
-colliding; I'm just including it here because it's really an issue for me
-with fermata. Other scripts aren't a problem for me, but sometimes I need
-fermata on both sides of the staff (when sop and alto hold different notes,
-for example). In fact it's not just scripts and lyrics: In a choirstaff,
-scripts above the bass clef collide with scripts below the treble clef.
-
-5. Sometimes lyrics extend past the right end of the staff. I guess that
-this is a similar problem (if not another symptom of the same problem) as
-one of the spacing bugs mentioned in the TODO.
-
-6. The bar line at the beginning of an \alternative section has disappeared
-altogether.
-
-7. When it's a tight fit to get all the notes in the first line, the first
-note collides with the time signature. Is this the same as one of the
-spacing bugs mentioned in the TODO?
-
-.* 4. Lyrics and grace sections don't go too well together.
- The words are aligned with the main note, not the start of the
- grace note. This is usually wrong, but is sometimes right.
-. * Auto_beam debugging output (waarom/wanneer heb jij die weggehaald?)
-. * Rename illegal to invalid
-. * Mats:
-
-- The Postscript output is still very experimental
-
-- It is impossible to typeset two textual scripts that are stacked
- on top of eachother and avoids note collisions and at the same
- time are typeset with different textStyle. I tried to move around
- the text_engraver and other engravers between Voice and Thread
- but the granularity is not fine enough, the scripts have to
- share the same engraver in order to be get correct vertical
- position but than they cannot have different style.
- In my opinion, all scripts that share the same staff, should
- be stacked vertically, avoiding collisions with the notes
- in all voices.
-
-- I'd like to change the \repetitions command to Jan's suggested
- syntax: \repeat "repeatsymbol" 2 {...}, but I'm not sure that
- I understand the implementation of repeats well enough.
-
-- The paper11/13/26 files have to be updated.

-My wish list for lyrics. I dream of a time when I will have enough time to
-become familiar enough with the source code to be able to implement some of
-these myself, but I don't know when that will be, so I thought I'd "publish"
-my suggestions in case someone else is in a position to give them some
-priority. Otherwise, perhaps they could go on the todo list?
-
-If any of these are already implemented, please let me what the syntax is to
-use them!
-
-1. Stanza numbering. Numbering at the beginning of a song with the number
-set to the left of the first note. It would also be nice (but not as
-important) to be able to have some form of automatic numbering at the
-beginning of each new line. This would make it easier to follow songs with a
-large number of stanzas.
-
-3. Notes centred above/below lyrics rather than left-aligned.
-
-4. It would be very nice to be able to build some kind of phrasing into the
-lyrics of hymns, etc, so that the first words of a phrase are left aligned
-with each other, the last words are right aligned, and the words in between
-are centred.
-
-5. In a song, with (say) four stanzas and a chorus, it would be nice to be
-able to vertically align the chorus midway between the staves.
-
-6. It would be nice to be able to put vertical brackets either side of a
-repeated section with different words for each repeat.

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

-> Would it be hard to add support for proper dynamics in MIDI output? I
-> would really like to have this feature...
-
-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 Write a Dynamics_performer that will modify
- any notes it finds to set appropriate strengths.
-
-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.
