Gregorio works fine on a Windows PC. I have personally tested it on XP,
7, and 8.1 in the past and was able to typeset documents just fine.
There is no need for you to switch platforms unless you want to.
The error you posted indicates that you tried to run a gabc file through
the LaTeX interpreter. gabc files are not properly formatted LaTeX
files. They are a plain-text representation of the chant which the
gregorio command-line tool converts into a gtex document which LuaLaTeX
can understand with the help of the GregorioTeX package. Of course,
since a single project may include multiple scores, a gtex file is not a
complete document, but rather a input source which is included in a
complete document. Indeed, GregorioTeX provides the command
\gregorioscore (as of 4.0, \includescore in earlier versions) for doing
just this. This command has the advantage of being able to look at the
source gabc file, recognizing when it needs to be run though the command
line tool, and automatically doing so for you. This allows you to avoid
messing with the command line altogether.
Since you're using TeXworks, then I strongly suggest you read and follow
the directions here:
http://gregorio-project.github.io/introduction-editor.html
They provide you with a complete description of the work-flow when using
an editor like TeXworks. Since 4.0 is still in beta, the command names
on the page have not yet been updated, but 4.0 has backwards compatible
deprecated function names built-in to ease the transition from older
versions so what's there should work just fine.
