These were comments about the website content that I sent to Richard, and
he requested I forward it on to the list.

My final comment, if not clear, is basically asking for a reference (if it
doesn't already exist) of changes in basic usage since the latest release.
I know there are some listed at the official release location on github,
but they don't really indicate usage, just difference.

The work that all of you do is so incredibly appreciated!  Thank you!

Here are some initial thoughts (many of these are admittedly qualms I had
from before your version):

I wonder if having installation higher on the menu might be a good idea.  I
realize that some people may want to see Gregorio in action before they
decide to take the plunge, but perhaps that could be an option given at the
top of the installation page.

I've thought for a while that the tutorial should have a way to navigate
between pages from the top of the page, rather than having to scroll and
find the link within the text.  Speaking of, at least on my screen, the red
link text does not pop out from the surrounding text very well.

Having a separate link the the one-page gabc reference would be nice.

The description of GregorioTeX usage has lacked clarity for me in the
past.  It is not at all clear to me how we are supposed to modify the
macros, for example.  Looking more closely, it seems that you may have
revised that detailed description of GregorioTeX page, but I am still not
sure it's completely clear for someone just beginning to use the program.

Sorry to list only the bad parts.  It looks like your revisions really go a
long way toward making the page more open, giving newbies a chance to find
their stride in the software.  As a reference for standard users, it
becomes a little difficult to find specific pieces of information without
wandering a little.  I'm also discovering that the changes with 3.0.0. are
giving me trouble with my older files, and I'm not sure where to go to see
what was changed (it seems I need to use \includescore[a]{score}, but I
don't know where to actually find that stated; I happened upon another
score that showed that somewhere).

Thank you for your great work!  It is certainly appreciated, Richard!
