[fomus-devel] regression testing

[David Psenicka]

A test suite is very much needed at this point--I think the :data 
backend shouldn't change too much now.  If you'd be willing to help, 
that would be great.  A possibility might be to extract just the data 
being tested from the .fms file (for example, if testing onsets of 
measures, extract only the measure offsets & durations and verify those, 
etc.)--this might be more flexible (and maybe not too much more 
work...).  One of my plans was also to write a function to generate test 
outputs with all the backends (and MIDI) and combine them (in an html 
page for example) so they could quickly be viewed and compared 
side-by-side (MusicXML will be the difficult one).
