Well... The way I did it on the litany is also purely visual. You can see the source when clicking "Edit" on the chant. It was for an older version of gregorio so some things should be different with later builds.
I used the Tabbing package, added some spaces in the gabc, and tried tabulation length until they matched the score. There's indeed no advantage to using this over InDesign... except it's easier to integrate in a TeX project ;-) Yours, Olivier 2015-02-28 7:07 GMT+01:00 Brother Gabriel-Marie <[email protected]>: > I figured out a way, but there's sure no advantage to using this over > InDesign.
