Hello,

I'd have a question about the rules to be followed on your database.

There are differences between editions of gregorian chants :
- the *Graduale* puts accents on words only when they have 3 or more
syllabes, while the *Liber usualis* and others put accents on all accented
words ;
- liturgical books use *i* in place of *j* after 1962, but not before ;
- *æ* is often written *ae*, I think because they had no easy mean to do
otherwise (but I can't be affirmative).

So here is my question : is it better to follow the presentation of the
source in every case (but some chants can be different between different
sources), or to follow uniform rules ? In such a case, would it be possible
to give those rules, for example on the *Participate* page ?

Please forgive me if I made English mistakes,

Fr. Jacques Peron.
