    Does anyone know where I can find the chants for an extraordinary form mass to be celebrated on September 18? Your help is MUCH appreciated.

    Thanks to Andrew Hinkleys gregorio'ized Graduale I made up a chant sheet with the Chants from the Graduale Romanum.

    This is really beautiful on-screen, but I just tried to print it and got a hot mess of liquescent neumes and random quilismae. Does it print for you? Is black and white an issue? (We have access to 1945 copy on grungy yellowing paper if need be.)

    The proper chants for Ember Wednesday in September are now posted on the Sacred Music Resources page at the Institute of Christ the King website. See this link.

    I just tried my PDF printer (no real printer on my laptop) and it did just fine. Here is a B/W sheet. Some printer drivers seem to have issues with some PDF files. I experienced that when printing a particle physics script at the university library; after a few pages the printer stopped because a single sign offended the printer so much it gave up.

    Some printer drivers seem to have issues with some PDF files.

    Typical problems: poorly written printer driver code, poorly written PDF file generation code. Sounds analogous to poorly devised "sacred" music, poorly musical singing groups.

    One point to check when generating PDFs from word-processing software or desktop-publishing software is: have you told the software to embed all the fonts used in the document into the PDF file? If this doesn't happen, a printing failure is very likely.

    I used gregorio and lualatex; thus neither word-processing nor desktop-publishing, but typesetting software. I suppose all fonts are embedded, but I don't know whether it does. My printer at home has never had any problems when I printed some gregorio-typeset chant PDFs. I didn't try this special one though.

    If the fonts weren't embedded, the file probably wouldn't even display on the recipient's computer, so I think we can rule that out.

    Could it be the browser?
    I have seen problems printing these types of .pdf document using the browser.

    If you save to disc and open with Acrobat, it should then print fine.

    The Firefox PDF viewer definitely does not display music fonts well; I haven't tried to print with it. But since Jeffrey reported seeing the document well, I don't think that's his issue.

    Thanks, all. Opening in Acrobat did the trick.
