Dear Michael
I forgot to say that the scores (one line per page) in my system
were transformed from pdf into svg graphics. In that way, you
don't have pixelization and you don't lose quality.
I use next software:
lualatex,
make and
pdf2svg.
I personnally run Linux (Ubuntu) as OS, but the software tools I
speak about also available under MS-Windows and Mac-OS.
I wrote a
Makefile making it possible to compile a .gabc
file, generating automatically the correspondig .tex file.
This file uses a template, called
score2svg.latex. I
choosed extension latex for avoiding to lose the template file
when cleaning the temporary files. In this implementation, the
.tex files are to be seen as temporary files, since these are
generated automatically by the
make utility.
Assuming you wrote a file my-chant.gabc, you just have to run
make
my-chant.svg-dir for creating a directory containing the
svg files (one per line of the score).
I hereby attach the
Makefile and the
score2svg.latex
template.
Hoping you can use this stuff.

Dear Br. Samuel and Fr. Pierre,
I just did a quick experiment to export an score to a separate .eps file and then include it in a .tex document with Chinese & Latin - it is much more straightforward than I, a LaTeX newbie, imagined. The only problem is that it cannot cross pages automatically. Now I understand why your solution 2 is one line per page. Would you please share with me the template?
Thanks,
Michael

Dear Br. Samuel and Fr. Pierre,
Thank you for your advices!
When we started evaluating the feasibility of this project a few weeks ago (and now we are still in the process), solution 2 was one of the technical options put forward with but was eventually vetoed due to the loss of quality and potential workload involved. We even looked into a few other possibilities such as importing the PDF score into a word processing software e.g. Pages on Mac (thanks to Élie and Sr. Maria for their wonderful advices) but it turned out to be imperfect. There were two major problems as I see: 1) the image quality was impaired by pixelization, and 2) the image and/or PDF could not cross page automatically.
What if I export the scores to EPS files, and insert them into a .tex project in which luatex-ja is used to support Chinese/Japanese? Can an EPS image cross pages automatically?
Thanks,
Michael

Dear Michael
If you want to use the solution 2. of Br. Samuel, I can provide you
files to produce that kind of output.

I can think of two possibilities:
1. Use a package other than luatex-ja for typesetting the Chinese/Japanese.
2. Typeset the Gregorio scores in another document which is setup to have one line per page and no margins, and then include them as images.

Sad to hear that it is yet an unresolved issue, but thank you for letting me know, Br. Samuel. Do you see any possible workaround available before it is root-caused and fixed sometime later hopefully?
Thanks,
Michael
