Sorting Future Work

[rpspringuel]

Sparked by the comment of @henryso in #988, I've created two new milestones: 4.1.1 and 4.2 so that we can better sort the work we have planned and thus decide what sort of release schedule we want to follow. I don't have time at the moment to reassess any of the current milestones (which all point to 5.0) but if everyone takes a look at what they're thinking about as they work, we should have things sorted out fairly quickly.

Given @eroux's contacts, I think it's probably best for him to decide the priority, which I think should be based on what is needed first and be tempered by the effort necessary.

According to my contacts, the most urgent things would be:

• problem with virga strata oriscus orientation #972 (but I think it's included into Completing glyph handling #898), that's quite important for Solesmes, certainly the biggest change
• line not ragged before euouae block in some cases #984
• High notes and alt tex overlap #960
• integrate line stretching in debug messages #994 would also be very useful to understand and tune spacings, and it's very simple so I think we can do it soon too
• Force centering with curly brackets in syllable mode #968 has been asked twice recently so I think it's important too, Br. Innocent will certainly need it for an important project
• we can certainly also fix easy bugs such as Switch nested \IfStrEq statements for \IfStrEqCase #955, Table difference check for determining when the gaux file should be saved is too fragile #987, There should be a \GreLastOfLine-like macro in the syllable before an EUOUAE #988 and C code should write the type of bar in GreBarSyllable #995, but these should not block the release

I'll put these in the 4.1.1 milestone, and I'll take a few ones.

These are the most urgent, the next ones would be

• New bar spacing algorithm pushes custos into margin #990
• bar spacing at end of line wrong for automatic end of lines #959 which is a very big change, so quite risky if we want to release soon
• low Custos overlapping with text (edge case) #961

If there are no further comments, maybe we can close this issue?
