What do you need besides pitch? I mean, there's no rhythm in the 
contemporary notation of chant -- any rhythmic interpretation given 
the Solesmes notation is purely an invention of the monks of 
Solesmes, and can be safely ignored.

I just don't understand how anyone could have difficulties with 
transcribing chant notation, but, then again, I've been reading it 
regularly (and sight-singing from it) for over 20 years, so maybe I'm 
overlooking something that's obvious to me and opaque to others.
