Dear friends:
Question 1:
Do you have plans to make it possible to place square notes on a staff with 5
lines?
It would be so much easier for musicians today to be able to read and play
Gregorian chant if the notes were placed on a treble staff with the appropriate
flats and sharps.
I have developed a special g-clef in the shape of a diamond to use instead of
the treble clef.
The treble clef suggests that one is dealing with a staff featuring
measured/timed music.The diamond (rhombus) attached to a long slender "pole" is
situated on the "g" note and is quite elegant and looks natural to the chant.
Are you interested in this path? I have work done in Photoshop if you'd like
to see it.
Question 2: Do you plan to make it possible to set hymns to music in such a way
that the music is written once, and all the different verses share the staff,
as is done in modern hymnals?
I know this isn't the custom for square noted hymns in old manuscripts, but
this method saves a lot of paper!
Thank you for all your hard work to preserve the treasure of the Church!
May Jesus and Mary be loved by all hearts!
Sr. Anne of Yahweh
