    I am working on a Pontifical Canon (basically an EF-Ordo Missae with the deviations used by a bishop e.g. et me, indigno servo tuo at the beginning of the canon and the pontifical blessing at the end). I finished everything up to the prefaces.

    Has anybody already typeset some of them with Gregorio? I have already finished the Praefatio solemnis communis.

    Here's a version of the preface for Advent. I did it because it's not in our Missal and the priest wanted to sing it. Can't guarantee it's 100% authentic - probably merits a bit of re-work, particularly the long monotonic phrases.

    I started typesetting them myself and ran into a problem for the Easter Preface, because it has a triple text; on Holy Saturday in hoc potissimum nocte, during Easter Octave in hac potissimum die and during the rest of Eastertide in hoc potissimum. Has anybody an idea how to typeset three texts to the same tune in Gregorio?

    I attach the other prefaces, perhaps somebody has use for them and can proofread.
