Because it takes 5-10 seconds to run lualatex on a gregorio document, there's no way for a GUI program to present authentic gregorio output on a keystroke-by-keystroke basis.
The best you could get would be a display as in the lilypond editor "frescobaldi", which combines a text editor in one panel with a PDF display in the other panel. When the user clicks a "run" button, the lilypond input file is processed and the resulting PDF appears. It then remains static until the next time the user requests processing. It might be convenient to have a similar tool available for gregorio, but it would not offer much that isn't already available on the illuminare web site. --RC On 06/10/2013 10:03 AM, Brother Gabriel-Marie wrote: > Thanks for the responses, fellows, > > I am thinking of something more elaborate, with syntax colouring, and > live preview, and lots of options for performing advanced operations > that would allow you to do things that you would normally need to do in > tex, but without having to do or know any tex coding (and without having > to constantly look up how to do that). > > The online score editors are very simple, but they don't do anything for > your tex file - you can't for example, change the staff color to red, or > modify the size of the initials. > > Also, another thing I've noticed is that the online editors don't seem > to output exactly what gregorio outputs - some things work in the online > editors that don't work in gregorio.
