Hello,
This is great news. Thank you for continuing the development of
Gregorio.
Regarding the TeXLive versions: I suppose all Windows and Mac OSX users
could easily install the latest stable TeXLive release anyway. The
only barrier are Linux users who use the distribution repository
instead of upstream TeXLive. Right now Debian stable and Ubuntu Lucid
till Precise are all shipping 2009, and Debian testing, sid, and Ubuntu
Quantal are shipping 2012. Fedora 18 is on 2012 as well. OpenSUSE
12.1 and 12.2 are on 2011, and 12.3 is on 2012.
The only distribution releases still in support shipping with anything
older are Ubuntu Hardy (2007, end-of-life for servers on 2013-05-09),
Fedora 17 (2007, end-of-life mid 2013), and OpenSUSE 11.2 (2008,
end-of-life November 2013). I doubt that shall people want to run
TeXLive on these older, long-term stable boxes, they would be unable to
grab it upstream.
Best,
Jonathan

Dear Gregorio users,
After some years of silence and some changes in my personal and
professional life, I'm now coming back to Gregorio.
A first step I would like to do is to fix all major broken things and
make a new version available (including Windows). In fact I already
did quite a lot in this direction, by making lualatex still working
fine (and better!) under the future TeXLive 2013. There were some
changes in the LuaTeX engine that made lualatex totally broken on the
future release, and thus it was quite a bad thing for Gregorio that
highly depends on it... Now another coder and I have made lualatex
work again and even improved compared to last version; with some
interesting bug fixes (including one on ofm fonts used by Gregorio)
and new features (some speed improvements mainly). So the first good
news is that Gregorio will still be able to rely on lualatex in
TeXLive 2013!
But the main goal of this mail is to ask you a question: do some of
you still use TeXLive 2008? Supporting this old version makes code in
Gregorio more complex and difficult to test for me, so I would like to
drop support for it. Not many things have changed since TeXLive 2009,
so I guess everything should work fine since then.
I made an updated gregoriotex.tex and gregoriotex.sty (attached), can
you please test them and tell me if it works fine on your system? I
also attach the new example main.tex...
I just updated something on the svn, these files should appear on it
soon...
Thank you,
