Elie,
I'm glad you are doing this. I've spent time with several
folks myself just trying to get the installation to work. I
don't know lua nor python, so am not much help with
scripting here.
However, I did write a couple little guides over on the tex
stack exchange:
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/103288/getting-gregorio-to-work-on-windows-7?noredirect=1#comment225424_103288
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/103517/texlive-and-gregorio-manual-font-installation/103535#103535
I think most people have the 2012 version of texlive because
that is what is suggested and linked on the gregorio
download page. I know that's been there for a long time, so
I would say there probably aren't even many people useing
texlive 2008. My recommendation is the same as Perre's -
leave a download link for folks who want to use the old
texlive and the old gregorio, but go ahead and adjust your
development to the newer texlive since it is a help to you.
One thing that never made it very far was the GUI for
gregorio that was promised years ago on the gregorio pages.
There is NotatioAntiqua - but it, too, needs some work.

God bless!

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,
