Did you download a gregorio cygwin binary from http://download.gna.org/gregorio/releases/ , or did you compile gregorio yourself? If the latter, there's a known bug that affects some special characters... Hopefully it will be fixed soon. If the former, the method on the gabc description page *should* be accurate. In what way is it failing (is it just not printing anything at all)? In any case, you can also try this workaround -- input the special characters by using their GregorioTeX macro names as verbatim input, like in the following: Instead of <sp>R/</sp>(::) or s<sp>'ae</sp>(f)cu(f)la(f) try <v>\Rbar</v>(::) or s<v>\'\ae</v>(f)cu(f)la(f) You may also need to use curly braces {} to adjust the centering of the neumes over the text if you try this.
