I'm grateful to Benjamin for the work he has done on this wonderful GUI for Gregorio.

Also, what does the initio debilis mean? I don’t recall seeing any in the Liber Usualis.

The initio debilis is found in the ancient manuscripts and was not taken into account in the early Solesmes notation. Beginning in 1981 with the Psalterium Monasticum (I believe) Solesmes began including this and several other adaptations of the the square note notation to include several of the nuances contained in the ancient adiestematic manuscripts. These are described in the introduction to the Liber Hymnarius (1983).

If anyone is interested, I put up a page a little while ago to turn GABC into a PDF without having to install TeX and everything locally. The page is here: http://illuminarepublications.com/gregorio, and when I put a podatus in with an initio debilis (-fg) it looks very much like a clivis ending with a liquescent neume (gf~) but without the stem. Is this what it should look like? Also, what does the initio debilis mean? I don’t recall seeing any in the Liber Usualis.

Sorry, I replied direct to Michele, but I'll write to the list too to
say that all those work for me using gregorio v2.1-svn.

I'll attach my pdf.

I hope Christopher Gray got an answer back in December.  It looks like
gregorio is getting more famous.  Are Elie Roux and Tracy Llenos still
around?

I doubt if anyone of any tenderness or imagination can see the hand of a child and not be a little frightened of it. It is awful to think of the essential human energy moving so tiny a thing; it is like imagining that human nature could live in the wing of a butterfly or the leaf of a tree. When we look upon lives so human and yet so small, we feel the same kind of
         obligation to these creatures that [God] might feel. -- GKC
