Hello,

I have a question concerning the type-setting of a podatus followed by a
virga, e.g. the incipit of the Gaudeamus introits (cf.
http://test.selapa.net/gregobase/chant.php?id=1183):

To achieve the appearance used in the Solesmes books of the virga appearing
without any space after the podatus, it is necessary to add an exclamation
point:

(c4) GAu(c)de(d)รก(ixdh'!iv)mus(h.)

If the exclamation point is not there, a small space is produced between
the notes.

I am wondering if it would be better in this case to change the default
behavior of Gregorio to link the podatus and virga together (with the
necessity of !); presumably if you wanted to add the space you could put in
a / . I think this change would make setting this sort of neume more
intuitive, although the change could be implemented in a way where the
presence of the ! would not cause any trouble either.

Is anyone aware of situations in which you would *desire *a space between
those notes of the neume?

Yours,

bro. Innocent, op
