Hi! I should have begun there ;-)
First of all, I'm developing this software for a very concrete project where I have been asked to make chant booklets. The idea is to share the work between different people typesetting the chants and automatically make a rough booklet from these data. The most important table (in volume of data) is one I call "chants" which contains incipit, mode, office part, version (to differenciate Vatican and Solesmes versions, for instance) and few options. The gabc field is currently json encoded. If it's a string, it's plain gabc code. If it's an array, it's a more complex score, a transposition of Andrew's mgabc (you can see them at <http://test.selapa.net/gregobase/mgabc.php>). For the hymns, I added 2 fields with the verses as TeX and as gabc (where available) so that you could download either the 1st verse only or the full hymn with the music of all verses There is a table with the sources and a one making the links between chants and sources. These are the tables currently in use. The next steps are the chant editing and the booklet making interfaces. This is where it would start being really useful to me ;-) but that part is only in a searching stage, not currently useable at all...
