Hello, Thanks for pointing this out. The tutorial was written using an earlier version of gregorio, so some things regarding gabc input have, I think, changed... One thing you cannot now do is write a score consisting solely of a clef, with no notes. That's the cause of the final error you see above. > Compiling this: > > name: Kyrie XVII; > %% > (c4) Ky(f)ri(gfg)e(h) * > > > yields: > > nt...@ntmoe-ubuntu64:~/Documents/GregorioTeX/kyrie_XVII$ gregorio > kyrie_XVII.gabc > error: syntax error > > > While compiling this: > > name: Kyrie XVII; > %% > (c4)Ky(f)ri(gfg)e(h) > > > works just fine. > > > So the asterisk seems to be the problem.

For example, (c4)Ky(f)ri(gfg)e also yields a syntax error. I would just add the chant text as you add the music. Thanks for asking about the tutorial, as it should probably be updated. If no one volunteers, I'll look at it more this weekend.
