Thanks for the responses, fellows,

I am thinking of something more elaborate, with syntax colouring, and live preview, and lots of options for performing advanced operations that would allow you to do things that you would normally need to do in tex, but without having to do or know any tex coding (and without having to constantly look up how to do that).

The online score editors are very simple, but they don't do anything for your tex file - you can't for example, change the staff color to red, or modify the size of the initials.

Also, another thing I've noticed is that the online editors don't seem to output exactly what gregorio outputs - some things work in the online editors that don't work in gregorio. Thus, you don't get an exact view of what gregorio will create with your gabc code.

Here are what I think it ought to have:

 * Live display (like the online score editors - except
   those don't use gregorio, I think; they use javascript,
   so the output is not equal to what gregorio produces)
 * Lots of buttons to help you choose what you want, kind
   of like Gregoire uses. These should help you do the more
   complicated procedures, such as compressing a staff and
   adding psalms and lines of text that you would normally
   have to add in a tex file.
 * Options for working with the tex files behind the scenes
 * Switch between multiple main-lualatex.tex templates,
   like NotatioAntiqua
 * Produce not only pdf files, but also graphic files, like
   .png and .jpg or .gif
 * Error reporting
 * Live Syntax Highlighting for the code
 * Way to store your music pieces in some sort of tree
 * Multiplatform

God bless!

Aside from Mr. Gippner's Notatio Antiqua (http://notatioantiqua.sourceforge.net <http://notatioantiqua.sourceforge.net/>), does anyone else have any other gregorio GUI in the process of production? There was mention of one on the gregorio webpage - but that notice was dated several years ago.

You might be aware of Grégoire, http://gregoire.tele.free.fr <http://gregoire.tele.free.fr/> I used it for some time, but apparently the evolution of it stopped years ago, so it does not work very well any more on modern machines. It's a pity.
