Hello, I'd just suggest a small modification in the "main.tex" (or other, I don't know what's its name on gregobase) : as you can see here<http://gregobase.selapa.net/chant.php?id=2060>, in some cases, the notes get out of the lines. It can be easily avoided by increasing *tolerance*, at the cost of greater spaces and more lines : for example (in the preamble) : *\tolerance=9999* %(or less) *\pretolerance=500*.
