I agree with Élie's observation that the layout should be rebuilt
totally: he mentioned using "angular 2" and "material". That will be a
good opportunity to show off the attractive output of Gregorio.
On another front, could developers review the *text* of the web pages,
especially in areas where you have particular knowledge, to make sure
that the information is accurate, current, and clear for new users?

I think we ought to use Comic Sans. That will attract a different

In all seriousness, though, I like the idea of the neume as an
accent. I was recently reminded of how beautiful our Gregorian scores
are. They have true artistic beauty (usually), beyond the beauty that
we all see in well-balanced musical notation.

To have so much text in a "decorative" font is not user-friendly.
I'm not disagreeing with you, I just think that what you've done
may have gone too far in the other direction. Looking at it again,
I'm inclined to leave the menu items as you have them. Since
these are important navigational items, clarity is more important
than style.
That leaves the headers. I'd like to see a bit more style here.
Not so much that they can't be read, but something that provides a
bit more character. After playing around with font choices on my
own computer, I can't say that I can come up with something that's
better than what you have. So perhaps the answer isn't to change
the font, but to add a bullet-like image before or after the text.
Perhaps the image of a neume. Ideally it shouldn't be one of too
great complexity, as that would be distracting, but it should
probably involve 2 or 3 notes. Quickly glancing at the list of
neumes in the documentation suggests a Torculus Ascendens in the
gregorio font might meet this definition.
