There is still considerable amount of work in the gregorio program, as well
as the LuaLaTeX style and Lua code in it, needed (plus further work on the
fonts) before it can be easily used for typesetting. Right now all you can
do is just
\newfontface\SGM{SGModern.ttf}
or
\newfontface\GG{gregall.ttf}
and then if you know the current (temporary) char position of the neumes
you want to use, use that, or you could write an easy lua function which
would look up e.g. the names mentioned in compareSGModernGregall.pdf
in the names of glyphs similarly to what compareSGModernGregall.tex does.
Still too rough to even experiment with it.
Note, as it is far quicker to paint SGModern characters than to find
in manuscripts all the missing glyphs, save images for them, scale them and
paint, I've added so far in the latest SGModern.sfd 70 new glyphs in
addition to the original ones. I have still 8 on a paper which should IMHO
cover pretty much the Gregorian Semiology big table and the various
paleographic signs mentioned throughout the book, plus then at least the 45
significative letters and strings, and then lots of common glyphs that
should have the c, t, ct, f and x letters added to them.
http://people.redhat.com/jakub/gregall/ contains the latest copy and
a pdf with all the glyphs and what is missing.
