Sure the website should be updated.
Meanwhile, useful tips can added here :
http://gregoriochant.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/gregowiki:last_features
which can be accessed by www.gregoriochant.org
We know that developers are overloaded, so anybody can update this page.
I did not know this : \setfirstannotation{} even if it in in the cheat
sheet

I've been playing with some scores and have to say that I find it
slightly annoying that the command
\gresetfirstlineaboveinitial{}{} has two arguments, both of which
are always exactly the same.
Okay, so that isn't exactly how it works. Reading the detailed
information on GregorioTeX on the website I now understand just
why there are two arguments: one controls the actual text that
appears, the other the positioning of that text. While I think
that entering a vertical-offset via dummy text is round about, I'm
willing to admit that it means things are less fussy for the user
(who doesn't have to figure out just how tall his text is).
Besides, if I really want to play with the offset as a number, I
can just use a strut (i.e. a rule with 0 width).
However, most of the time (at least for me) both arguments are
identical. I think that makes this command a prime candidate for
an optional argument. When the command is called without the
optional argument, the two arguments would be assumed to be
identical. When the command is called with the optional argument,
it would behave as it currently does.
Would anyone else find this to be a useful modification to the
command?
Complicating things, the usual way of specifying optional commands
in LaTeX would have the modified command take the form:
\gresetfirstlineaboveinitial[vertical_offset_text]{text}
This would break backwards compatibility for two reasons:
1) the argument order is reversed
2) the first argument is in square brackets rather than braces
Getting around this would require giving the "smart" function a
new name. Would people prefer that to a direct modification of
the current command?
