In Gregorio starting from 4.1-rc1 (to be released very soon), the syntax

text()

is considered so called "rubrical text", its use is mainly for case such as

*()

or

Ps.()

it centers the text between the previous and next syllable. I think this
could be considered the "standard" behavior, but Gregorio being the only
software to render gabc graphically (as far as I know), it is its own
standard...

Thank you,
