I just ran main-lualatex.tex using LuaLaTex in TexShop and it compiled and 
created the PDF and it looked fine, so I guess it is up and running now.

Apropos of the Mac installation page, here are my observations:

1) In #5, you may want to capitalize "terminal" to make it clear that Terminal 
is a program.

2) Between #5 and #6, you forgot to include Mr. Martin's two instructions:

        $ sudo port install autoconf

        $ sudo port install automake

3) In #6, I only followed the instruction that you gave me, which was "sudo 
port install libtool flex bison libxml", which is slightly different from what 
you have on the website. I do not know if that will make a difference.

4) The "download page" link for the stable version is still taking you to the 
"gregorio-2.0-universal-OSX.pkg.zip" version, which was last modified on 28 Sep 
2010. Mr. Martin had said that I should not have installed that, so I am not 
sure if that is the correct stable version or not. In other words, is that 
where you want the "download page" link for the stable version to go?

5) The instructions to get the SVN (SVN or SVN version? Doesn't the VN in SVN 
mean "version"?) are not as clear to me as Mr. Martin's, i.e.,

        Create a place to put the gregorio (Is gregorio capitalized?) files, 
e.g., ~/Documents/gregorio

                $ mkdir -p ~/Documents/gregorio

                $ cd ~/Documents/gregorio

        Now get the gregorio source:

                $ svn co svn://svn.gna.org/svn/gregorio/trunk

The first time I saw that, I had no idea what I was supposed to do with "svn co 
svn://svn.gna.org/svn/gregorio/trunk". There was no command line prompt to tell 
me that it was something I was supposed to type into Terminal. Maybe that is 
more obvious to other people, but it was not to me when I first saw it. The 
compilation instructions did make more sense because they had the command line 
prompt.

6) The update instructions are a bit confusing. Mr. Martin's instructions say 
to do this:

        $ cd ~/Documents/gregorio/trunk

        $ svn up

In the instructions on the website, it says, "…go in the directory containing 
the source file, make svn up and recompile…". Since you previously had me run 
"make" in the compilation, the instructions look like you want me to do this:

        $ make svn up

It appears that "svn" is a command/program, so I think you want to say "run svn 
up" or "do svn up", as you used earlier; "make svn up" does not make sense to 
me in English. I can tell that "make" and "svn up" are in different fonts, but 
I still think it is confusing. The only reason it made sense to me was because 
I was already familiar with Mr. Martin's instructions, so I already knew what 
you were trying to say.

My 2 cents,
