Dear Father,

I've just updated the page according to your precious remarks, it will
be online in about 2 hours.

1) In #5, you may want to capitalize "terminal" to make it clear that
Terminal is a program.

Ok.

2) Between #5 and #6, you forgot to include Mr. Martin's two
instructions:

$ sudo port install autoconf

$ sudo port install automake

autoconf and automake should be installed automatically if you install
libtool. That's what I saw on the macports page, but I cannot try...

3) In #6, I only followed the instruction that you gave me, which was
"sudo port install libtool flex bison libxml", which is slightly
different from what you have on the website. I do not know if that
will make a difference.

Indeed. I changed the instructions on the page to have "sudo port
install libtool flex bison libxml2", which I think is best.

4) The "download page" link for the stable version is still taking
you to the "gregorio-2.0-universal-OSX.pkg.zip" version, which was
last modified on 28 Sep 2010. Mr. Martin had said that I should not
have installed that, so I am not sure if that is the correct stable
version or not. In other words, is that where you want the "download
page" link for the stable version to go?

I'll release soon Gregorio 2.3, it will be the next stable release, but yes, the old one is rather old...

5) The instructions to get the SVN (SVN or SVN version? Doesn't the
VN in SVN mean "version"?) are not as clear to me as Mr. Martin's,
i.e.,

Create a place to put the gregorio (Is gregorio capitalized?) files,
e.g., ~/Documents/gregorio

$ mkdir -p ~/Documents/gregorio

$ cd ~/Documents/gregorio

Now get the gregorio source:

$ svn co svn://svn.gna.org/svn/gregorio/trunk

The first time I saw that, I had no idea what I was supposed to do
with "svn co svn://svn.gna.org/svn/gregorio/trunk". There was no
command line prompt to tell me that it was something I was supposed
to type into Terminal. Maybe that is more obvious to other people,
but it was not to me when I first saw it. The compilation
instructions did make more sense because they had the command line
prompt.

Ok, I've added it too.

6) The update instructions are a bit confusing. Mr. Martin's
instructions say to do this:

$ cd ~/Documents/gregorio/trunk

$ svn up

In the instructions on the website, it says, "…go in the directory
containing the source file, make svn up and recompile…". Since you
previously had me run "make" in the compilation, the instructions
look like you want me to do this:

$ make svn up

It appears that "svn" is a command/program, so I think you want to
say "run svn up" or "do svn up", as you used earlier; "make svn up"
does not make sense to me in English. I can tell that "make" and "svn
up" are in different fonts, but I still think it is confusing. The
only reason it made sense to me was because I was already familiar
with Mr. Martin's instructions, so I already knew what you were
trying to say.

Ok, fixed too. When it will be online, can you check and tell me if it's ok for you?

Also I've added the instructions for TeXLive (or MacTeX) download.

Thank you,

Elie
