lilypond odd jobs (updated Aug 2007)

[Graham Percival]

Here's the latest version of my "odd jobs" list.  These are things that 
would be nice, but the documentation team does not have the resources to 
do themselves.  In other words, if one of you doesn't do it, it won't 
get done.



Lilypond Odd Jobs
-----------------


ONE-SHOT JOBS  (estimated time: between 0.5 and 2 hours)
- special markup command examples (note head styles, rotation, etc:
complicated stuff to show off some possibilities).  Maybe as LSR instead
of manual.

 NEWS files.


TECHNICALLY ADVANCED
- convert-ly bugs and tips
- preprocessor docs
- musicxml: document current features, limitations
- musicxml: programming.  (it's currently not supported)


GENERAL EDITING / JANITORIAL:
- check manual for current correctness (does it make sense, is the info 
up-to-date, etc)
- verify anything in the "bugs" sections
- standardize # signs
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2006-10/msg00180.html
- avoid future tense
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2006-01/msg00076.html


ADVANCED
- go through ly/music-functions-init.ly and add a doc string to every
function listed.
- Some type of doc that outlined the lexical construction of Lilypond
