 +=====Welcome=====
 +The **Gregowiki** is a central location for all Gregorio users to find:
 +  * Tips and Hints
 +  * Code Snippets
 +  * Installation Procedures
 +  * Links
 +  * And anything else!
 +
 +=====What is Gregorio?=====
 +Gregorio is an open-source project offering software tools for typesetting (engraving) Gregorian chant scores. In particular, Gregorio is an add-on package for the typesetting system LaTeX, so it requires an installation of TeXLive. 
 +
 +Gregorio and LaTeX together produce PDF output suitable for printing.
 +
 +The input to Gregorio is a notation called GABC, which combines the syllables of a chant text with a simple notation indicating the position and shape of each note.
 +
 +**For most users, it's not necessary to install Gregorio on your own computer.**  Instead you can access it using one of the [[#Running_Gregorio_on-line|on-line Gregorio web interfaces]] listed below.
 +
 +=====Software=====
 +  *[[http://gregorio-project.github.io/|The official Gregorio web site]] 
 +  *[[Latest features]] of Gregorio not yet integrated in the documentation
 +  *[[https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio|Gregorio GIT]] 
 +  *[[http://www.tug.org/texlive/|TexLive]]
 +  *[[http://notatioantiqua.sourceforge.net/index.html|Notatio Antiqua]] - a GUI .gabc editor and compiler.
 +  *[[http://www.sspxusa.org/goodies/#greg|Greg]] - a desktop GUI application for Gregorio.  It assists in compiling gabc files (windows only) and can also play them as midi files
 +  *[[https://github.com/jperon/gabctk|gabc2tk]], that supersedes the unmaintained [[https://github.com/jperon/gabc2mid|gabc2mid]] - a CLI python script to convert gabc files into midi. Tested and working under linux and windows, should work on osX ; under windows, you could prefer using Greg.
 +  *Gregorio comes with a compilation script called <html>gprocess</html> which is a <html>perl</html> script designed to instantly show the result of a gabc file using your system's pdf viewer.
 +  *[[https://github.com/igneus/gly|gly]] - "Gabc with separate LYrics" or "Gabc for liLYponders"
 +  *[[https://github.com/igneus/lygre|lygre]] - ruby gem providing script <html>grely.rb</html> which converts gabc to simple lilypond. Currently the conversion is possible only to modern notation, with great information loss.
 +
 +====Text editor tools for gabc files====
 +  *[[http://chant.fsspx.pl/gregorio-mode/docs/|gregorio-mode.el]] A Gregorio mode configuration for the Emacs editor; it performs automatic syntax highlighting. Instructions are [[http://christusrex.pl:8080|here]].
 +  *[[https://github.com/igneus/gabc-mode|gabc-mode.el]] One (actually two) more, much simpler, Emacs mode; syntax highlighting + some quick-code-insertion shortcuts.
 +  *[[http://www.sspxusa.org/goodies/progsamples/NPP_Gregorio.zip|NPP_Gregorio.zip]] - A Gregorio mode configration for the Notepad++ editor, for use with .gabc files.  (Documentation and tutorials on  Notepad++ syntax colour files are available [[http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/notepad-plus/index.php?title=User_Defined_Languages|here]].
 +  *There are also several syntax-colouring files that come with your Gregorio installation.  Look in your Gregorio's application folder under "contrib". (Or look in the same folder at [[https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/tree/master/contrib|github]].) There are files for BBEdit, TextWrangler, Scribus, Gedit, Kedit, Emacs, Vim, and Texshop (Mac OSX).

 +  *[[Troubleshooting Gregorio Installation]]
 +  *[[https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/releases|Gregorio software releases]]
 +
 +=====On-line Tools=====
 +====Tools for preparing text====
 +Since GABC code assigns notes to syllables of the sung text, these tools can be useful in breaking up a text into syllables:
 +  *[[http://marello.org/tools/syllabifier/|Syllabifier]] for Latin text
 +  *[[http://gregorio-project.github.io/hyphen-la/|Hyphen-la]] for liturgical Latin
 +  *[[http://juiciobrennan.com/hyphenator/|Hyphenator]] for English text
 +
 +====Tools for producing GABC code====
 +Ben Bloomfield's on-line tools can apply melodic formulas to hymn texts, psalm verses, and scripture texts:
 +  *[[https://bbloomf.github.io/jgabc/transcriber.html|GABC generator for hymns]]
 +  *[[https://bbloomf.github.io/jgabc/propers.html|GABC generator for propers with Rossini psalm-tones]].  You can get a [[https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gabc-transcription-tool/mkhgaijffgijgkolifpoaijimncdakkd|Chrome app for it here]].
 +  *[[https://bbloomf.github.io/jgabc/psalmtone.html|GABC generator for psalm texts with psalm tones]]
 +  *[[https://bbloomf.github.io/jgabc/readings.html|GABC generator for scripture readings]]
 +
 +====Running Gregorio on-line====
 +There are two web sites that have versions of the Gregorio software installed.  They offer interfaces where a user can enter GABC code, make selections about the output format, and receive a PDF file with the score produced by the Gregorio (and LaTeX) software:
 +  *[[http://apps.illuminarepublications.com/gregorio/|Illuminare online score editor]]
 +  *[[http://run.gregoriochant.org/|run.gregoriochant.org Chant Engraver]]
