    ...I assume there should be an easy way to do this, since when one does a new engraving at illuminarepublications.com/gregorio, it gives the option to download the GABC file. Guidance, please?

    It's usually most convenient if you name the file with a ".txt" extension: for example:

    title-whatever-gabc.txt

    You can use a plain-text editor such as NotePad on PCs and TextEdit on the Mac to edit the file. It is important that you *not* use a word-processor like MS-Word on the file, because that would insert formatting codes incompatible with Gregorio.

    Thanks, chonak. Then how do I re-process a new PDF?

    You can copy/paste from the text editor back into the web form.
