Dear Brother,

I think that Gregorio would be far more complete and user-friendly if
there was a gui. Although everyone, and I do mean everyone on the list
has been exceptionally helpful with any question I have had regarding
installation and usage but I think that if a person didn't have to
explicitly install TeXlive(MikTeX, MacTeX) and then TeXworks or
whatever.
Indeed. There is a possibility I'm thinking about, it is to make a tiny
TeX distribution specialized in Gregorio, for users who won't need
anything more of TeX. This is feasible but demands quite a lot of time...
I think the learning curve could be shaved down quite a bit. I
know of the very good online versions, I have used them on numerous
occasions and they have done what they were supposed to do but I think
Gregorio should have its own with LaTeX(or LuaTeX) built in and mostly
transparent so that a person can just concentrate on the gabc and not
have to worry about downloading, installing, and learning LaTeX, or
fussing with things in a main .tex file.
Agreed. This is not very simple to make though...
Off the top of my head, something like Frescobaldi which is an awesome
gui for Lilypond. You still have to learn a bit to be able to make a
good score but at least you don't have to work with two documents at the
same time as you do in Gregorio (the .gabc file and the main .tex file).
and there are many template and export options (pdf, svg, png).
Well, this is for sure a very good example! I think NotatioAntiqua aims
at this, but this is a very long and difficult task!
My vision for now about versions is:
- 2.4 in one or two month with a few features and bug fixes
- 2.5 with part of the neumatic notation (in a few months)
- 2.6 with better integration in a graphical interafce (no vision
about the delay for this)
Thank you,

Elie
