If I could possibly ask, I'd be very much plea-
sed if the following features could make it to
Lilypond 1.4 :
- Having complete control over the note orne-
ments meaning that it can be specified whi-
ch note(s) is/are to be pralled in a chord,
to have total control unto where it should
be put, and having some easy defaults (un-
der the note, over the note...)
- Being able to specify a fingering for orne-
ments.
- Making it possible to specify if an orne-
ment should be "sharped" or "flated" or on-
ly "naturalized". I've been told it's pos-
sible already, but sinc I haven't found an
entry in the manual, I take it it's a hack.
- Adding several ornementation symbols, espe-
cially the pralls from the English baroque
era (Purcell's keyboard work, al...).
- Making it possible to use the "unison" sym-
bol (it's when a note, or more, are the sa-
me on two staffs, to prevent a harpsichord
player when playing on two different keybo-
ards to play it with both hand, specify wi-
th a line connection both notes that it sh-
ould only be played once. Here's a diagram:

The two Es are unison.)
- Adding "tierces coulées" or some sort of ar-
peggio, without mainting every notes of th-
e chord down. The (bad) diagram:

- Being able to specify for each rests, it's
vertical position if Lilypond doesn't figu-
re a good one out.
Thanks for having read through,
Sincerely,
