I am pretty sure the "ff" problem is happening because you have
Dif(f)fu(h)sa(g) in your gabc file. If there were more notes over "Dif"
(or the font were smaller) then the text would show correctly as
dif-fu-sa. However, since you only need one punctum above "Dif" the
"Dif" and "fu" are being placed next to each other and the ligature is
not showing. My suggestion here is to change this to "Diff(f)u(h)sa(g)"
or "Di(f)ffu(h)sa(g)", which would show incorrectly if there were more
notes above "Dif", but should be fine given what you have.
The answer to your question about the barred initials depends on what
font you are using and how the symbol is encoded in the font.
For example, if the "Response" and "Versicle" figures are in the font at
their unicode positions (U+211F and U+2123, respectively), you can
create a macro that sets the appropriate font and uses the unicode
character directly.
If the symbols are encoded at specific non-unicode positions, you can
create a macro that sets the font and uses the character directly
(perhaps using \char).
If you are manually composing the characters, then you can create a
macro that does this. I personally use this method to combine my
"normal" font with the slashes that are in the gresym font:
\newcommand{\VBAR}{{\color{cardinalred}\ooalign{{\kern+0.05em}{\gregoriosymbolfont
\char 74}\cr V.}\ }}
\newcommand{\ABAR}{{\color{cardinalred}\ooalign{{\kern+0.33em}{\gregoriosymbolfont
\char 73}\cr A.}\ }}
\newcommand{\RBAR}{{\color{cardinalred}\ooalign{{\kern+0.35em}{\gregoriosymbolfont
\char 73}\cr R.}\ }}
(of course defining the cardinalred color elsewhere). I then use these
macros (\VBAR, \ABAR, and \RBAR) instead of the gregorio \Vbar, \Abar,
and \Rbar.
If you can give more details about the font (if the font is freely
available, pointing me at the font is best), I (or someone else on the
list) can help you create the appropriate macros.

Henry
