Have you looked at <http://www.barfly.dial.pipex.com/bfgregorian.html)? This scheme is followed by BarFly and by Melody/Harmony assistant, and involves minimal changes to allow abc to represent Gregorian Chant. (Basically, it's just an addition to the K: field to specify which of the eight possible clefs is in use, and some reinterpretation of the standard abc symbols when a Gregorian clef is specified.)
