Long Initial

+ +

+ Have you ever wanted to have multiple characters as part of the initial on your chant? + Normally, it is only possible to have a single character as the initial of a chant. + However, in some cases gregorio will treat multiple characters of input as a single character of output: V/ at the start of a chant produces an initial of `\Vbar{}` in latex. +

+

+ When using gregoio, GABC, and lualatex+se it is possile to add ... tags to your *.gabc file. + These are used to add latex markup to your gabc output (for instance changing the font chracteristics of the chant text). + This can also be used as the initial of your chant, and the entire tag will be considered the whole of the initial. +

+

+ Note: all of these example must be done with the initiallines being 1. + To change the font size to be the same as the rest of the chant you can use \grechangestyle{initial}{\fontsize{14}{20}} or some other font size. + This should be done within a block in your *.tex file so your subsequent chants revert to the default font size: +

+

+

+{
+    \grechangestyle{initial}{\fontsize{14}{20}}
+    \gregorioscore{path/to/gabc}
+}
+
+

+

+ Examples: +

    +
  1. + Using ~ gives you a tabbed in first line. +
    2. +
  2. + Using 1. will have the text "1." as your initial. +
    3. +
  3. + Using \Vbar. 2. will have the text "℣. 1." as your initial. +
    4. +
