Thanks, Conor, for posting the comments to the list. Many of them
pertain to portions of the web site written by other participants, so
they will able to comment more knowledgeably than I can.

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!
