I've been thinking this afternoon about something to put on the website: the ethymology of "Gregorio": the name was given by the monks of Le Barroux Abbey, it (kind of) means "I'm doing Gregorian Chant", or "I gregorianize", in Latine. Maybe this could have its place on the website, in order to avoid confusion with the name "Gregorio" (which is quite common in Italy). What do you think?
I have no objections to this. Would you put it on the History page or did you have somewhere else in mind?
Also, on the front page, maybe the "Alleluia" score could be replaced by something with St Gall neumes? This is mainly marketing though, it just makes the software more appealing... Maybe the score we have on the front page of the nabc documentation pdf?
I wouldn't use the score on the front page of the nabc documentation, or at least not all of it. That score is four lines long, and thus putting it in the place of the Alleluia we already have would likely push text off the bottom of the screen in smaller windows. I'm very much in favor of the home page being completely "above the fold" on as many screens as possible, and thus would restrict any score sample to a single line (like the image we already use). That said, we could take the just the "Alleluia" from the nabc sample score and use that as our home page image.
