Frescobaldi paradigm
====================
With all the feature ideas, Frescobaldi should remain a simple and
straightforward application to use. Which means:
- Not too much configurability. Just good defaults
- Shortcuts for the basic tasks
- Quick startup by loading modules only when the user requests a certain action
- Predictable behaviour
- Coding: separation of concerns, messages, modularity, encapsulation
See also README-development.
TODO and wishes for Frescobaldi 2.x
===================================
- LilyPond context help
- wizard to download and unpack LilyPond documentation and/or LilyPond itself
- Load .ly file specifying other encoding than UTF-8
(this can be done from the command line but not via the user interface)
- interface for running lilypond-book
- Midi input and import. Probably using a basic sequencer, allowing changes,
corrections and quantizing touchups before putting the LilyPond representation
in the editor.
* mamoch is working on Midi input like the 1.x rumor did.
- tool to separate out things from music and attach them to invisible rests (s)
in a separate expression
- check or even auto-insert bar checks
- editing via Music View:
* relevant context menu on right-clicking object
* drag an object to e.g. create an \override #'extra-offset command
- Table of Contents support in qpopplerview
stub: qpopplerview/toc.py
ROADMAP for Frescobaldi 3.0
===========================
At a certain point, master will become Frescobaldi 3 and Frescobaldi 2 will
get it's own branch "v2"
1. Use Python 3 (Frescobaldi 2.0 should also run with Python 3)
2. Require and make use of PyQt5 and Qt5 (recompile/update poppler-qt4)
3. SVG music view and editor
Make a new music view that displays the SVG output of LilyPond and allows
for very fine-grained editing, both via altering the LilyPond source but
also editing and saving the SVG file manually to provide a final PDF
rendering. Probably using QGraphicsWebView.
Other ideas/wishes
==================
- support for Git/Hg/Svn diff/revert/commit
- play from cursor: plays music to MIDI output
- editor:
* context menu (with help, open filename, etc)
* if matching brace out of view, popup a small display of it (idea:
Francisco Vila)
* vi-mode (stub: vimode/)
- define and extend API for script snippets
- make Frescobaldi API (using pydoc) browsable via the helpbrowser.
- \displayMusic tool to show music in Scheme format (by calling LilyPond's
\displayMusic function on a music expression).
