I find the idea very good. It would solve several issues I face. If I were to implement it, I would definitely make it more general, because gregorio scores aren't the only case where I would profit from a tool understanding Latin hyphenation, accentuation and orthography systems.
But my current time possibilities aren't as great as the project and it's reasonable development pace might require. So - I will wait for some time, maybe someone will take it over and I will eventually join in as a contributor.
