The gregorio software
The gregorio software is able to read the formats gabc and GregorioXML, and to write those two formats as well as OpusTeX. For now it can only be a powerful preprocessor for writing scores in OpusTeX.
This software is only available (for the moment) on GNU systems (like GNU/Linux). Porting it under Windows would probably be easy. If you want to try, please contact the gregorio developers.
Installation
To use it you must first download the latest release. Then you must compile it. This step is quite easy:
- decompress the tarball:
tar xzf gregorio.tgz - go in the created directory:
cd gregorio - install the dependencies for compilation:
flex,bison,make,gcc(on a Debian-based system, these two packets are inbuild-essentials),libxml2, and the headers of libxml:libxml2-dev - configure:
./configure - compile:
make - install the program:
make install(you need root privileges for that).
Use
The program can for the moment only be used in a command-line interface. The use is quite easy: if you want to have the list of all available options, try gregorio -h.
The basic use is to convert a gabc file in GregorioXML or OpusTeX:
gregorio -o <nom_du_fichier_final.tex> -F otex <nom_du_fichier.gabc>
You can change the command line to convert in GregorioTeX instead of OpusTeX by changing otex by xml.
