Re: [Gregorio-users] Gregorio update
Hello Elie, This is great news. Thank you. I think that if someone uses TeXLive 2008, it is not a problem for him to continue using current old gregorio version, which still exists. The price for backward compatibility is a late for improvements, sed vinum novum in utres novos(Mt 9,17) For ordinary people, supposing that people using gregorio is ordinary, the most urgent is certainly to have a package that install simply and automatically.

Re: [Gregorio-users] Gregorio update
Welcome Back! We missed you! And lualatex main.tex works fine here Linux debian 3.2.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.2.35-2 i686 GNU/Linux and also seems to work on my new hymnbook files too, Veronica ___ Gregorio-users mailing list Gregorio-users@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/gregorio-users
Re: [Gregorio-users] Gregorio update
Elie, I'm glad you are doing this. I've spent time with several folks myself just trying to get the installation to work. I don't know lua nor python, so am not much help with scripting here. However, I did write a couple little guides over on the tex stack exchange: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/103288/getting-gregorio-to-work-on-windows-7?noredirect=1#comment225424_103288 http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/103517/texlive-and-gregorio-manual-font-installation/103535#103535 I think most people have the 2012 version of texlive because that is what is suggested and linked on the gregorio download page. I know that's been there for a long time, so I would say there probably aren't even many people useing texlive 2008. My recommendation is the same as Perre's - leave a download link for folks who want to use the old texlive and the old gregorio, but go ahead and adjust your development to the newer texlive since it is a help to you. One thing that never made it very far was the GUI for gregorio that was promised years ago on the gregorio pages. There is NotatioAntiqua - but it, too, needs some work. http://notatioantiqua.sourceforge.net/index.html God bless! - Brother Gabriel-Marie On 4/21/2013 11:52 AM, Élie Roux wrote: Dear Gregorio users, After some years of silence and some changes in my personal and professional life, I'm now coming back to Gregorio.
