So, I found a bug in gregoriotex: \gregoriomode doesn't work as
advertised, even though it shows up in the gtex file. After some
playing around, I discovered that I could fix this by moving it to
appear before \greinitial in the gtex file (one line higher than it
currently appears). I can get gregorio to do this automatically by
moving the appropriate lines in gregoriotex-write.c (lines 176-179 need
to move to between current lines 149 and 150).
However, when I do that \setfirstlineaboveinitial don't work because
\gregoriomode uses that command to place the mode (i.e anything the user
puts there manually gets overwritten by \gregoriomode).
So, my question is should I fix it? If I change it, any gabc file with
the mode in the header will have said mode as the first annotation and
nothing else. That's probably not what people are used to, but is what
the functions, as written, are supposed to do.
The other alternatives are leave as is (in which case \gregorianmode is
just an alternative to \setfirstlineaboveinitial with a specific use
case in mind and lines 176-179 of gregoriotex-write.c are dead-weight)
or somehow redesign \gregorianmode so that it has a lower priority than
a user generated \setfirstlineaboveinitial.
