Yup, there is little time left - only 30 hours.


Well, thanks for your help, but I didn't manage to write a complete 
proposal that I was satisfied with quite in time for the application 
deadline. Best of luck with your proposal and project, Janek! Depending 
on how my summer plans turn out, I may well stick around and help out a 
bit here anyway.

not. That could be a good test. 


Thanks. I do recognize for most of those marked elements that 
something's a little "off" -- moreso with the slurs/ties so perhaps I 
will look into focusing on those.



I don't currently have further specific ideas beyond the outline given on
the LilyPond website, but any insights into these projects, and how I should
best form a GSoC proposal, would definitely be welcome.

I think there might not be enough time to define all specific changes
that are needed in beam positions or tie and slur shapes before
application deadline - it's a lot of work.  However, you can try
describing some general changes, for example:


Yes, although I'll try to outline some significant changes, I think most 
of the work collecting specific problems and examples from the 
literature will have to take place in the early stages of the project. 
I'll give some thought to how to approach that process.

GSoC rendering improvements

2012-04-04 Thread Corey F

Hi all,

I'd be interested in working on either of two projects suggested for 
Google Summer of Code, most likely "Improve beaming" but perhaps instead 
"Improve slurs and ties".


Though LilyPond isn't currently my notation tool of choice, I believe I 
do have an exacting aesthetic sense that would be useful to these 
projects, and I have a solid background in C++ from school.


I don't currently have further specific ideas beyond the outline given 
on the LilyPond website, but any insights into these projects, and how I 
should best form a GSoC proposal, would definitely be welcome.


Thanks,
Corey
