Hi all! There's a slight problem with the tutorial (http://home.gna.org/gregorio/tutorial/tutorial-gabc-01). The problem is shortly this: it leads one to believe that you can have an unfinished GABC-file and run it through gregorio and get the result mentioned in the tutorial. As far as I know and have tested, this is not possible.
For example, step one is mentioned like this: name:Kyrie XVII; %% (c4)Kyrie * eleison. bis Christe eleison. bis Kyrie eleison. Kyrie * ** eleison. And then there reads, "Here's the result after processing by gregorio and LaTeX:" and shows an empty line with only the (c4) insterted on it. However, running the abovementioned GABC through gregorio produces an error instead of the mentioned result. This is a big problem for newbies, as they are led to believe that the code in step one is a working code. There are two possibilities in fixing this: a) changing gregorio to manage unfinished GABCs (requires a lot of effort, I quess) b) changing the tutorial to make note of this (requires not that much effort, I think) This came up as I shared a link of the web-based gregorio (thanks to Richard) to an elderly pastor who doesn't understand English that well, and he tried to get a hang of GABC and gregorio with the tutorial and asked me what's going wrong as the errors came.
