Change Log

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file. As of v3.0.0 this project adheres to Semantic Versioning. It follows some conventions.

[4.1.4] - 2016-05-29

Fixed

Package conflict with luatex-ja also affected the custos. Have now fixed that problem too. See this thread.

[4.1.3] - 2016-05-26

Fixed

Package conflict with luatex-ja has been resolved. Notes and lyrics should now appear in documents which use the luatex-ja package. See #1107.

[4.1.2] - 2016-05-08

Changed

The parmesan font is now called granapadano. If you were using \gresetgregoriofont{parmesan}, you should now use \gresetgregoriofont{granapadano}. See #1075.
GregorioTeX is now compatible with TeXLive 2016

[4.1.1] - 2016-03-10

Fixed

Custos now shouldn't go right of the staff lines (was visible only in edge cases, see #990).
Corrected the end-of-line shift for a ragged line break before <eu> blocks (see #988).
Additional space is now added on top of lines with very high notes or signs (see #883).
High notes are now taken into account for vertical placement of above lines test (see #960).
Forced syllable centers can be used in to override alignment issues when lyric centering is set to syllable or firstletter. This is a restoration of old behavior (pre-4.0), but can be turned off with \gresetgabcforcecenters{prohibit}. See 968.
Deminutus figures in nabc work again (see #1015).
Orphaned syllables should appear less frequently at end of score (see 1019).

Added

The macro \grechangecount now allows to change some numeric values of the configuration. This version introduces two of them: additionaltopspacethreshold and additionaltopspacealtthreshold, see GregorioRef for details.
The penalty grefinalpenalty (0 by default) is added at the end of the score. Be sure you know what you're doing before modifying it.

[4.1.0] - 2016-03-01

Fixed

Hyphens now shouldn't go right of the staff lines (see #845).
Horizontal episema on initio debilis is now sized correctly (see #880).
Space between the text of two syllables of the same word when no hyphen is necessary is now strictly 0 (see #922)
A horizontal episema on the first note of a torculus deminutus is now placed correctly. See #926.
Compilation of documents produced with Gregorio should be slightly faster.
The alignment of the vertical episema under a punctum inclinatum deminutus is now correct (see #742).
<eu> and <nlba> may now be ended on the final divisio maior/finalis (see #743).
Sign positioning on the first note of quadratum figures is now correct (see #752).
Interlinear spacing of annotations when font size was smaller than normal. You should now see just the spacing specified by annotationseparation.
Spacing is now correct and ledger lines are now typeset for flats, sharps, and naturals above and below the staff (see #790 and #882).
Forced hyphens at the end of words are no longer suppressed (see #804).
Three descending, otherwise unmodified notes are now correctly grouped as a clivis followed by a punctum. If you prefer three notes butted up against each other, separate them with !.

Changed

spacebeforeeolcustos has been increased, aproximately doubling its size. It's also been made fixed by default, but is still capapble of accepting a rubber value should you so desire.
The names of the spaces around bars have changed, see gsp-default or GregorioRef for the new names. It is now possible to tune the spacing of the virgula separately from the divisio minima, and the Dominican bar separately from the divisio minor.
The stem length determination will use the ledger line below the note with the stem (see #863).
Made the oriscus orientation dependent on the note that follows. Using 1 will force the ascending oriscus and 0 will force the descending oriscus. The old behavior may be restored by setting the oriscus-orientation gabc header to legacy. See UPGRADE.md for details (for the change request, see #774 and #898).
Add new lines as needed to the gabc output. (see #905).
Command line output (help message, version message, error handling) has been improved, see #891
Windows installer no longer copies the executable into the TeX bin directory. Instead it has the option to add its own bin directory to PATH.
system-setup.sh has become system-setup.command so that it is double click executable on Mac.
Post install options for Windows installer have been simplified. There are no longer separate options for MiKTeX and TeXLive. Instead the installer will determine which you have itself and act accordingly.
Windows installer will check more locations for old installations to remove.
Height of the porrectus have been altered (first note moved up, second also moved up when second ambitus is more than one) so that they are more coherent with the punctum height. The porrectus stroke drawings have also been slightly altered to be slightly thinner and sharper around the bottom note (see #858).
When a syllable is preceeded by a punctum mora, gregorio now ignores the punctum mora in the spacing of the syllables by default, and also adds a custom space (defaulting to 0). You can change this behavior with \gresetshiftaftermora{}, see GregorioRef for its arguments. To balance the output, space before a punctum mora has been made slightly thinner, more in line with old Solesmes books. (For the change requests, see #795 and #871).
The --admin option is removed from the initexmf call for MiKTeX installations, allowing the installer to work better on Windows 10.
MiKTeX installations no longer copy files into TEXMFLOCAL but instead registers the texmf folder which the installer creates with MiKTeX, allowing it to use those files in place. See #884
Windows installer now contains an uninstall script which will run as part of the uninstall action and thus should remove the Gregorio executable and TeX files from their copied locations (leaving a clean post-uninstall system).
Initial handling has been simplified. The initial style should now be specified from TeX by using the \gresetinitiallines command, rather than from a gabc header. Big initials and normal initials are now governed by a single initial style, meant to be changed between scores as appropriate. See UPGRADE.md and GregorioRef for details (for the change request, see #632). Deprecations for this change are listed in the Deprecation section, below.
\gresethyphen no longer manipulates maximumspacewithoutdash, allowing for restoration of consistent behavior after this distance has been modified. See #705.
The oriscus-based shapes in the greciliae font are more consistent. The shape of a scandicus with a second ambitus of two is more consistent across all score fonts.
Minimal space between notes of different syllables (or words) has been reduced when the second syllable starts with an alteration.
The space between note and horizontal episema has been tightened for notes at the c or k height when there is no ledger line. Due to the intricacies of measurement, the system tries to make a best guess as to the existence of the ledger line. If the guess is wrong, you may use the [hl:n] and [ll:n] notations in gabc to override the guess. See UPGRADE.md for details (for aspects of change request, see #716, and #862).
The custos that might appear immediately before a <eu> block is now suppressed by default. This behavior is controlled by the \greseteolcustosbeforeeuouae command. See GregorioRef and UPGRADE.md for details (for the change request, see #761).
Different glyphs will now be used for the liquescent stropha on a line or between lines, if supported by the font. If you prefer the old behavior, use \grechangeglyph{StrophaAuctaLongtail}{*}{StrophaAucta} in your TeX file. See #773.
Headers not recognized by gregorio, rather than inducing an error, are now simply accepted by gregorio. Most of the old "standard" headers, like book and manuscript-location, are now handled in this way and thus are no longer limited to one instance. See GregorioRef for details.
mode will now be converted to Roman numerals in lower case so that it shows up as small capitals using the default modeline style. See UPGRADE.md for details (for the change request, see #756).
\grecommentary is now less restrictive about where it occurs and need not occur directly before the score anymore.

Added

It is now possible to turn off rythmic signs (separately or all together) with \greprintsigns, see GregorioRef for details (and #936 for request).
Space between the two bars of a divisio finalis is now tunable through divisiofinalissep.
Added notesonly argument to \gresetshiftaftermora (see #948).
Controls for tuning horizontal episema vertical position. See GregorioRef for details (for the change request, see #872).
More dimensions are tunable: overhepisemalowshift, overhepisemahighshift, underhepisemalowshift, underhepisemahighshift, hepisemamiddleshift, vepisemalowshift, vepisemahighshift, linepunctummorashift, spacepunctummorashift, spaceamonepespunctummorashift, lineporrectuspunctummorashift, spaceporrectuspunctummorashift, raresignshift. See GregorioRef for details (for the change request for most of these, see comments in #872).
A new dimension, intersyllablespacestretchhyphen is now available to add stretching in the case of syllables separated by an hyphen (see comments in #922)
A new algorithm for placing bar syllables has been added and is now the default. See UPGRADE.md for more details. The old spacing can be activated with \gresetbarspacing{old}. See the following for various aspects of the implementation:
- #767
- #919
- #944
- #978
It is now possible to generate a font with a different stem length schema (apart from the default one, Solesmes' is available), see fonts/README.md for details.
Some forms (ed for example) will have a different stem length if a ledger line is present. Heuristics to determine the presence of a ledger line or not are quite simple and may not always be correct. Gabc now allows you to force a note to act as if a ledger line was present with [ll:1], or as if there was no ledger line, with [ll:0]. See Gabc section of GregorioRef for details.
The ability to typeset an inter-glyph space using /! in gabc (see #868)
Support for two-, three-, and five-line staves. Set the staff-lines header to 2, 3, or 5. For all values of staff-lines, the note below the staff remains 'c'. The two new notes above the staff (for a five-line staff) are n and p. See #429.
Salicus flexus glyphs (see #631).
Neume fusion, activated in gabc by @. Use @ before a clivis or a porrectus to get an unstemmed figure. Use @ between two notes to fuse them explicitly. Enclose a set of notes within @[ and ] to automatically guess their fusion. See GregorioRef for details (for the channge requests, see #679, #687, and #692).
Hollow version of the oriscus, called by adding the r modifier to an oriscus, as in gor or gor< (See #724).
Headers are now passed to TeX and may be captured in TeX by using the \gresetheadercapture command. See GregorioRef for details.
Support for half-spaces and ad-hoc spaces. Use /0 in gabc for a half-space between notes. Use /[factor] (substituting a positive or negative real number for the scale factor) for an ad-hoc space whose length is interelementspace scaled by the desired factor. See #736.
Support for custom length ledger lines. See GregorioRef for details (for the change request, see #598).
Support for a secondary clef. Use @ to join two clefs together, as in c1@c4. The first clef is considered the primary one and will be used when computing an automatic custos before a clef change. See #755.
New headers for typesetting text after mode above the initial: mode will be typeset first, using the modeline style, then mode-modifier, using the modemodifier style, then mode-differentia, using the modedifferentia style. See GregorioRef for details (for the change request, see #756).
Automatic line breaks before a <eu> block may be made ragged by using \gresetbreakbeforeeuouae{ragged}. See GregorioRef for details (for the change request, see #764).
The ability to typeset simple slurs. See GregorioRef for details (for the change request, see #776).
More control over the alignment of the annotation. You can now set either the first line or the last line of the annotation as the controling line with \gresetannotationby{firstline} and \gresetannotationby{lastline} respectively. Additionaly, within the line you can specify the top, baseline, or bottom of the line as the alignment point with \gresetannotationvalign{top}, \gresetannotation{baseline}, and \gresetannotationvalgin{bottom} respectively. Default behavior is baseline of the top line (as it was before). These alignment controls are applied before annotationraise is taken into account. See #768 for details.
More control over the placement of the commentary. You can now set the amount of space between the lines of a multi-line commentary with commentaryseparation and the distance from the top line of the staff to the baseline of the bottom line of the commentary with commentaryraise. See #662 for original request.
Styles for the annotation and the commentary. annotation has no default styling. commentary defaults to footnote sized italics.
\grecommentary now takes an optional argument which will add extra space between the commentary and the score for just the next score.
The custos can now be selectively enabled/disabled at forced line breaks by appending + (to enable) or - (to disable) after the z or Z (see #800).
With thanks to an anonymous contributor, the shape of the MetaPost-drawn curly brace has been improved (see #797).
Support for elisions, text between <e> and </e> in gabc, styled according to the elision style, which are excluded when determining where to position the text under its notes (see #838).
Special characters (between <sp> and </sp> in gabc) may now be customized using the \gresetspecial and \greunsetspecial commands. See GregorioRef for details (for the change request, see #846).
\gresetbracerendering can now take an optional argument to change the rendering of a single type of brace. See GregorioRef for details (for the change request, see #850).

Known Bugs

When there is no manual break, the spacing around bars at the end of a line in the new spacing algorithm is not perfect, this should be visible only in edge cases. If you encounter such a bad spacing, you are advised to force a line break manually. See #959.
Above lines text does not move to account for high notes which occur in the same place. As a result the two may overlap. You can work around this by changing abovelinestextraise but this is a global setting, affecting the entire score. See #960.
A manual custos in a low note position will not push down the text associated with it, resulting in the two overlapping. See #961.

[4.0.1] - 2015-12-28

Fixed

\greseteolcustos now retains its setting across multiple score inclusions (see #703).
Gregorio now works against luaotfload 2.6 (see #717).
When beginning of line clefs are invisible and bol shifts are enabled, lyric text will no longer stick out into the margin. Further the notes on the first and subsequent lines now align properly. See #683.
\grecross and \grealtcross now print the correct glyphs (see #713).

[4.0.0] - 2015-12-08

Fixed

Handling of the first syllable in gabc is now more consistent with the all other syllables. This centers the syllable correctly when using latin syllable centering (see #42) and makes the use of styles less surprising in the first syllable (see #135).
Handling of manually-placed custos is improved. In particular, a manual custos at the end of the score should no longer be lost when the bar happens to be at the end of the line.
Improved rendering of torculus resupinus flexus figures (see #18).
Horizontal episema on the second note of a scandicus is now rendered in the correct place (see #419).
The dot in a space directly above a punctum in a descending neume is now placed slightly higher in the space (see #386 and Gna! bug 21737).
Choral signs are now positioned correctly around porrectus and torculus resupinus (see #387 and Gna! bug 22025).
Gregorio will now try harder to select an appropriate pitch for an automatic custos (z0) on a clef change (see #446). If results are not satisfactory, use a manual custos (+) to select a pitch manually.
The centering of styled text under notes is now correct (See #509).
Space for above lines text is now correctly added as needed, even at the beginning of a score (see #533).
Corrected the rendering of explicit automatic and manual custos at the end of lines when the clef change that follows it is pushed to the next line (see #569).
Distinguished between eolshift and bolshift giving each their own flag and user commmand for turning them on and off. \seteolshift{enable} allows the lyric text to stretch under the custos at the end of the line. \setbolshift{enable} aligns the beginning of each line on the notes instead of the text. Both are on by default, but can be turned off with \seteolshift{disable} and \setbolshift{disable}.
The spacing of manual in-line custos ((f+) in gabc) is now consistent with the spacing of automatic in-line custos ((z0) in gabc). See #642.
Signs on the climacus praepunctis deminutus (ghgf~) neume are now positioned correctly. See #650
Mac installer has been made SIP compliant (i.e. it now works on El Capitan).
Mac installer can now detect installations of TeXLive done with MacPorts or the command-line tool provided by TUG.
Windows executable has file version information attached correctly so that the installer can properly recognize and replace the binary during an upgrade process.
Spacing was too large when alteration begins a syllable, see #663.

Changed

A new, more systematic naming scheme has been created for GregorioTeX macros. The naming scheme should reduce the chances of naming conflicts with other packages and make it easier to identify what a particular macro is for and how to use it. Most user functions have been renamed in order to bring them into line with this scheme. Please see GregorioRef for a complete list of the new function names. In general, old names will still work, but they will raise a deprecation warning and will be dropped from GregorioTeX in a future relase.
The spacing algorithm has completely changed, expect your scores to look quite different (better we hope).
Lines are now aligned on the leftmost note instead of the leftmost letter.
Some glyph shapes are improved a little in greciliae, it should be noticeable especially for porrectus.
The O modifier in gabc now has expanded uses beyond the salicus (egOi). A stemmed oriscus will appear on a lone pitch (gO) or a followed by a lower pitch (gOe) (see #76). A virga strata will appear on the second note of two ascending pitches (giO).
With thanks to Abbazia Mater Ecclesiae (IT) for drawing the new shapes, the strophicus, liquescent strophicus, liquescent oriscus, and liquescent punctum inclinatum in greciliae have changed to better differentiate them from other shapes. If you prefer the old shapes use:

    \grechangeglyph{Stropha}{greciliae}{.caeciliae}
    \grechangeglyph{StrophaAucta}{greciliae}{.caeciliae}
    \grechangeglyph{OriscusDeminutus}{greciliae}{.caeciliae}
    \grechangeglyph{PunctumInclinatumAuctus}{greciliae}{.caeciliae}

Default initial sizes have been chosen so that they are more appropriate when an infinitely scaling font is loaded. LaTeX will make an automatic substitution of the closest avaialble size when such a font is not used.
Porrectus deminutus and torculus resupinus deminutus glyphs have been updated to more closely match the current Solesmes books (see #143). If you prefer the old forms, use:

    \grechangeglyph{Porrectus*}{*}{.alt}
    \grechangeglyph{TorculusResupinus*}{*}{.alt}

New (much) improved drawings for letter bars (for Versicle, Antiphon, etc.). You must fine-tune them if you use a text font other than Linux Libertine, see UPGRADE.md for details.
The default extension gregorio (the executable program) will use when it produces GregorioTeX files has been changed from .tex to .gtex. Any calls to \includescore that use the old extension should be changed appropriately.
Horizontal episema improvements:
- A horizontal episema on the first two notes of a porrectus is now rendered differently than a horizontal episema on all three notes of a porrectus. It will no longer reach to the right side of the porrectus (see #70).
- Similar to appending 0 to the _ to force a horizontal episema to appear below a note, 1 may now be appended to the _ to force a horizontal episema to appear above the note. These may be used simutaneously, by adding both _0 and _1 to the same note (see #40).
- It is now possible to render a small horizontal episema. To use it, append 3 (for left-aligned), 4 (for center-aligned), or 5 (for right-aligned) to the _ used for adding the horizontal episema in gabc (see #40).
- Horizontal episema "bridging" has been made more consistent and is now possible on an episema that is below the note. (see #389).
- It is now possible to suppress the automatic horizontal episema "bridging" across spaces within a syllable. To use it, append 2 to the _ on the note before the space you do not want bridged (see #72).
- A horizontal episema will no longer overlap with a vertical episema on the same note (see #395).
The dot after a torculus whose last note is on a line will now appear below the line (see #386). If you do not like the automatic placement of a dot after any note on a line (not just the torculus), you may specify a 0 or 1 after the . to force the dot to appear below or above the line, respectively.
Choral sign dimensions have been renamed (see #387):
- beforechoralsignspace is now beforelowchoralsignspace.
- lowchoralsignshift is now choralsigndownshift.
- highchoralsignshift is now choralsignupshift and its sign is now inverted.
Style for score elements can now be changed via the \grechangestyle command. This replaces the mixed system of styling commands which could be redefined for some elements and specialized commands for applying styles to others. See GregorioRef for details.
Annotations with more than two lines are now supported (originally requested on the user list when two line annoations were made possible). To build the annotation box use \greannoataion. See GregorioRef for details.
The annotation header field in gabc now places its value(s) above the inital if no annotation is explicitly given by the user via \greannotation (see #44).
\grescaledim now takes two arguments to bring it into line with the systemized naming scheme. The second argument should be scalable if you want the distance to scale when the staff size changes, fixed if you don't.
Gregorio is now able to make individual lines of a score taller, when the position of the note require extra space, without affecting the rest of the lines. This is the new default behavior. See UPGRADE.md and GregorioRef for details (for the change request, see #59).
Braces are now rendered using MetaPost by default. This allows the line weight to remain more consistent when braces are stretched. The old behavior (which uses the score font instead) can be restored using \gresetbracerendering{font}. See UPGRADE.md and GregorioRef for details (for the change request, see #535).
\grecreatedim and \grechangedim now take keywords for their third argument (scalable and fixed) instead of integers (1 and 0) to make the more in keeping with the overall user command conventions.
Alterations are partially ignored when aligning lines on the notes (i.e. \gresetbolshifts{enabled}). They are not allowed to get any closer to the clef than beforealterationspace and the lyrics are not allowed to get any closer to the left-hand margin than minimalspaceatlinebeginning, but other than that GregorioTeX will shift them left as much as possible to make the notes align spaceafterlineclef away from the clef. Note that for the default values of these distances, only the natural is small enough to acheive true alignment.
gregoriotex.sty and gregoriosyms.sty now check to make sure that they are not both loaded. If gregoriotex detects that gregoriosyms is loaded, then an error is raised. If gregoriosyms detects that gregoriotex is loaded, then the loading of gregoriosyms is silently aborted and compilation proceeds.
Liquescence on a bistropha or tristropha will only appear on the note(s) marked by < in gabc, rather than on all notes in the figure. This means that a figure like (gsss<) will only have a liquescent "tail" on the final note. If you would like all notes to be liquescent for some reason, you can use a figure like (gs<gs<gs<) instead.
alterationspace is now a fixed dimension, see UPGRADE.md for details.

Added

With thanks to Jakub Jelínek, St. Gallen style adiastematic notation is now handled through nabc syntax (see GregorioNabcRef.pdf for details and the new example). Only one line above the notes is currently handled. This is a preview, backward incompatible change are possible in future releases.
<eu> tag in gabc to delimit Euouae block in the score. It prevents linebreaking and makes spaces tighter. See UPGRADE.md for details.
With thanks to Fr. Jacques Peron, it is now possible to embed short gabc snippets directly into a TeX document. The command is \gabcsnippet. See GregorioRef.pdf for full details.
[ub:x:y mm] tag, similar to [ob:x:y mm], but for braces under notes.
[ob:x{] and [ob:x}] tag pairs for braces where the length is determined by the distance of the opening and closing tags. [ocb:x{] with [ocb:x}], [ocba:x{] with [ocba:x}] and [ub:x{] with [ub:x}] can be used similarly for other kinds of braces and brackets.
The ability to substitute an arbitrary glyph for one used by GregorioTeX. This adds four macros:
- \grechangeglyph to make a score glyph substitution
- \greresetglyph to remove a score glyph substitution
- \gredefsymbol for (re-)defining an arbitrary non-score glyph that scales with the text
- \gredefsizedsymbol for (re-)defining an arbitary non-score glyph that requires a point-size to be specified. See GregorioRef.pdf for full details.
Added --with-kpathsea option to configure script, to check input and output file against openout_any and openin_any settings of texmf.cnf (TeXLive only). Necessary to be included in shell_escape_commands in TeXLive.
Support for lualatex -recorder. Autocompiled gabc and gtex files will now be properly recorded so that programs like latexmk -recorder can detect the need to rebuild the PDF when a gabc file changes.
A vertical episema may now be forced to appear above or below a note. In gabc, use '0 for the vertical episema to appear below and '1 for the vertical episema to appear above (see #385).
The first word, first syllable, and first letter of the first syllable that is not interpreted as the initial of the score can now be styled from TeX. Use \grechangestyle to modify the firstsyllableinitial, firstsyllable, and firstword as desired.
The final line of a score may now be forced to be fully justified (rather than ragged) using \gresetlastline{justified} before including the score (see #43). Use \gresetlastline{ragged} to switch back to a ragged last line.
\gresethyphen{force} forces GregorioTeX to put a hyphen between each syllable in a polysyllabic word. \gresethyphen{auto} restores behavior to normal.
Support for custom vowel centering rules. Put a file called gregorio-vowels.dat into your project directory or into a directory accessible from TEXMF and add the header language: name; to your gabc file. The gregorio-vowels.dat file describes how vowels are to be located in the name language. See GregorioRef for details.
\gresetlinecolor takes a named color as an argument. As a result, the red staff lines can be made consistent with the text, even when the user changes gregoriocolor with \gresetlinecolor{gregoriocolor}. Addresses #21787 on the old tracker.
Package option allowdeprecated=false. Causes all deprecated commands to raise an error and halt TeX.
The ability to add LilyPond-like point-and-click textedit links into the PDF file to aid with debugging scores. This must be explicitly enabled and should be turned off when producing files for distribution as it embeds path information into the output. To enable this, you must pass the -p option to gregorio when compiling gabc files and add \gresetpointandclick{on} before including the score. It may be toggled back off with \gresetpointandclick{off}. See GregorioRef for details (for the change request, see #528).
New score fonts with glyphs unique to Dominican chant. These fonts replace the epiphonus and the augmented liquescents with corresponding figures from Dominican liturgical books. To use the new fonts, pass the [op] option to the \gresetgregoriofont command (i.e., \gresetgregoriofont[op]{greciliae}). See GregorioRef for details (for the change request, see #1).
Support for "punctum cavum inclinatum" and "punctum cavum inclinatum auctus" figures. The gabc for these are (Gr) and (Gr<), where G is the capitalized pitch letter.
\greillumination: allows user to specify arbitrary content (usually an image) to be used as the initial.
New distance, initialraise, which will lift (or lower, if negative) the initial.
A new type of lyric centering, enabled with \gresetlyriccentering{firstletter}, which aligns the neume with the first letter of each syllable.
\greornamentation allows access to the two ornamentation glyphs. The ability to access these two glyphs via {\gregoriosymbolfont \char 75} was broken by the new interface to the glyphs in greextra.
The missing liquescent salicus glyphs.
The ability to force a hyphen after an empty first syllable, enabled by default since this was the behavior prior to 4.0. Version 4.0 has an improved spacing algorithm which will eliminate the hyphen if the notes for the first syllable are too close to the second. To switch to this behavior, use \gresetemptyfirstsyllablehyphen{auto}. See UPGRADE.md and GregorioRef for details (for the change request, see #653).

Known Bugs - FIXED IN 4.0.1

When beginning of line clefs are invisible and bol shifts are enabled, lyric text will stick out into the margin. Further the notes on the first and subsequent lines do not align properly. See #683.

[3.0.3] - 2015-07-01

Fixed

Horizontal episemae on salicus figures now render correctly (See #511).

[3.0.2] - 2015-06-01

Fixed

Prevented the default small font of the above lines text from leaking into the lyrics.

[3.0.1] - 2015-05-17

Fixed

Windows Installer is now compatible with MiKTeX. See #355.

[3.0.0] - 2015-05-14

Changed

New website containing instructions only for new versions of Gregorio starting with this release, in English only.
New clean Mac OSX installer (intel only).
New incompatible format of space configuration files (gsp-xxx.tex). Values are now scaled to the default staff size (see #50. You now need to use \gresetdim for setting distances (\somedistance = 3cm) can no longer be used). \gresetdim takes three arguments: the name of the distance, the desired value, and whether the distance should scale with changes in the staff size or not. See gsp-default.tex for an example.
All distances can now be set to scale with staff size, as a consequence \grechangedim now takes three arguments: the name of the distance, value to change the distance to (which now supports em and ex units), and whether or not this value should be scaled with changes in the staff size. See doc/UserManual.pdf for details.
\setinitalspacing , \setspacebeforeinitial, \setspaceafterinitial, and \setaboveinitialseparation now take an additional argument. The new argument specifies whether the distance should scale when the staff size changes.
Improved \includescore capabilities. The \includescore[f] parameter has changed to \includescore[n] compared to version 2.4.2. See doc/UserManual.pdf for full details and UPGRADING.md for instructions on how to upgrade your score from 2.4.2.
Clivis stem length now follow Solesmes' books conventions (see #31).
Windows TeXworks configuration script no longer adds deprecated greg-book and gregorio engines (see below).
build.sh and install.sh scripts are now used to build and install Gregorio with common options.
Clarified post installation options for Windows installer. What was the "Install Fonts" option is now labeled to indicate that this also adds GregorioTeX files to the texmf tree.
\grechangedim now checks to make sure it only operates on existing distances and doesn't create a new one.

Fixed

\includescore not finding files for autocompile under certain circumstances. (see this thread).
Spacing between a syllable and a syllable with text and only a bar was too short.
Torculus followed by a non-liquescent note is now parsed correctly (see #284.
Spacing after a syllable with an flat, sharp, or natural is now correct (see #246.

Added

\setstafflinethickness controls the thickness of the staff lines. See GregorioRef.pdf for full details.
\gre@debug. Writes messages to the log file when the debug flag is set to true (can be done manually via \debugtrue, or via the debug option when loading the gregoriotex package in LaTeX).
New documentation in PDF: GregorioRef.pdf. You can find it in the release files.
A migration guide (UPGRADE.md)
This CHANGELOG.
A Windows batch file which will detect the system setup and create a report which can be useful in diagnosing installation problems. Instructions for how to use it appear under the installation instructions for Windows on the website.
