Re: [Gregorio-users] GregoBase... getting a bit further...

Hello

In answer to the question of Fr. Jacques P., I propose to respect the rules of the source you are transcripting. If you are transcripting a text from a liturgical book anterior to 1962, use j. If it is a newer book, use i, and so on.

For the case you need to use a chant of an older book with v.gr. the forma extraordinaria (according to the missal of 1962), you can easily make a local copy of the gabc notation, that you adapt to your needs, changing j into i and ae into æ, in order to have more unity in the document you are producing.

IMHO...

Hello,

I'd have a question about the rules to be followed on your database.

There are differences between editions of gregorian chants :
- the Graduale puts accents on words only when they have 3 or more syllabes, while the Liber usualis and others put accents on all accented words ;
- liturgical books use i in place of j after 1962, but not before ;
- æ is often written ae, I think because they had no easy mean to do otherwise (but I can't be affirmative).

So here is my question : is it better to follow the presentation of the source in every case (but some chants can be different between different sources), or to follow uniform rules ? In such a case, would it be possible to give those rules, for example on the Participate page ?

Please forgive me if I made English mistakes,

Fr. Jacques Peron.

Hi!

Little by little, I'm getting further in my gregorian database system.
There is now an editing interface. It's not very user-friendly yet but
my knowledge in gui conception and programming is very weak... So if
you want to help, I'm very open to it!

You can also just proofread the scores and check the little "Me"
button under "Proofread by" (if you don't see any mistakes, of
course).

For those interested, I published the source code on GitHub
<https://github.com/olivierberten/GregoBase>. It's a mess... but if
you're very brave, you can have a look at it ;-)

Olivier
