No more than standard orthography, grammar, pronunciation, etc. > - fidelity to the original. Does fidelity goes to typographic rules. > I think yes. If we quit the original source, there is no limit. I disagree. What exactly is the use case you're thinking about? A person wanting to have a pure reproduction of a book will just copy it, no need to go through gregobase. Gregobase is a database for people to fetch scores when they build boos, with their own style. They don't want to have some scores with spaces before puncutations, some without... What would be the point of having scores with spaces before punctuations and others not? What use case are you thinking about? > - A user may want to use the typographic use of her country in her > main text and keep the original typographic way in the score. Absolutely, hence the possibility to just include a gabc file (without space) and make it follow the rules of the main booklet. > A proposal : create gabc with respect of the typographic space of > the original source, and add a gregoriotex macro which will add or > remove the space to conform to non "standard" (I want to say non > solemnensis or other source way) typogaphic use. I think it's using a jackhammer to smash a fly (as some would say).
