I tend to use TeXworks, so will tcsh be necessary?  If so, will I need
always to switch shells for Cygwin, or set tcsh as default?

I had installed gregorio a few ways, but now I've deleted all of them and
redone the Cygwin version, as I think I can manage with it.  Again, the
.bat files simply are not in the installation.  Somehow I managed to find a
gregorio.bat file in my User folder, so I loaded that into TeXworks and it
all works.  I still don't have the greg-book.bat or greg-lily-book files.

Thanks,
Conor
