Dear Gregorio Users, I have frequently been plagued by a problem where I have to use a neumatic cut (/) to get the right neume shape, but do not want the neume to have the potential of a line break at that point. For me at least (and I'd be interested to hear other perspectives) it is ok to break a line within a neume on a melismatic chant like a Gradual or Tract, but I find it odd on syllabic or neumatic chants like hymns or antiphons.
When I was looking over http://home.gna.org/gregorio/gabc/details again, I noticed the following line: "Note that for practical reasons, a space can be set unbreakable if you precede it with the character ! " Am I correct in understanding that this will address my problem, namely, that I should put a ! before every / in a neumatic chant? Yours, br.
