Blank Gregorian Chant manuscripts
  • Does anyone know where I can find black 4 line staff pages?
    I need to redact some things but on paper before I do it on the Gregorio software.

    Thank you for any and all help.

    I made this using Word. Just lines arranged in four-line staves for chant notation.

  • That’ll work great, thank you!

    You can also copy and paste this into the run.gregoriochant.org editor here and customize to your liking:
    %%
    (c4)( z)( z)( z)( z)( z)( z)( z)( z)( z)( z)
    I'm not sure whether there's a way to suppress the clef, but our moderator could tell us.
  • Just omit “c4”

    I don’t know if it’s possible to dig into the past on this forum, but I put a link up with all manuscript papers of various sizes for both modern and Gregorian, as PDF files that are vector based.

    That just moves it down a line.

    Running Gregorio with LaTeX (you can try it out on Overleaf for free.)


    % !TEX TS-program = LuaLaTeX+se

    \documentclass[11pt]{article}
    \usepackage[letterpaper,margin=1in]{geometry}
    %%change page size according to your needs via package documentation; landscape option changes orientation%%%
    \pagenumbering{gobble}
    %\usepackage{fontspec}

    %%You'll need `fontspec` in order to add text (unless you want to use the default LaTeX font which I don't recommend).
    \usepackage[autocompile]{gregoriotex}

    %\setmainfont{EB Garamond}[UprightFont=EB Garamond Regular,
    %ItalicFont= EB Garamond Italic,
    %BoldFont= EB Garamond Bold,
    %Ligatures=Rare,
    %Numbers=Proportional,
    %Numbers=OldStyle]

    %%I always use this font, installed locally on my machine, but I don't have text in this document.%%

    \gresetclef{invisible}

    \begin{document}

    \gabcsnippet{(c4)}
    \gabcsnippet{(c4)}
    \gabcsnippet{(c4)}
    \gabcsnippet{(c4)}
    \gabcsnippet{(c4)}
    \gabcsnippet{(c4)}
    \gabcsnippet{(c4)}
    \gabcsnippet{(c4)}
    \gabcsnippet{(c4)}
    \gabcsnippet{(c4)}
    \gabcsnippet{(c4)}
    \gabcsnippet{(c4)}

    \enddocument


    Maybe there's an easier way, but I haven't found it.
