Dear Olivier, Thanks for looking into this. I'm not sure off hand whether there are other missing ones, but these are the ones I've dealt with in my own transcriptions of Dominican chant. I typically just make do with the g> (etc.) for the plica/liquescent with the left bar, but it would be nice if that variation in typography could be accommodated, as well as the epiphonus (cf. http://pbillaud.fr/images/1908page2.portee1.jpg) also in the *Salve regina *chant you include. The meaning of these signs, I think, is somewhat unclear. The main editor of the modern editions of Dominican chant following the development of the Solesmes books (Fr Pie Bernard, op) was fairly literal in trying to copy the neume shapes of the 13th century manuscripts, even when the meaning wasn't entirely self-evident. To me, I don't think it's absolutely necessary to have them from a musical point of view, although I imagine it would be helpful in principle to expand slightly the ability of Gregorio to reproduce these types of historical scores.
The dotted tau is the Dominican version of the flex mark (†). That would be very helpful to have within the Gregorio symbols.
