Review
Gregoire is a simple and useful program that will help users write partitions of the famous Gregorian chants for free. This program makes it possible for us to make digital copies of the classic Gregorian partitions (originally created to be used in the Roman Catholic liturgy), or to compose new pieces out of our minds. We can configure the program to save our work automatically from time to time. We can save our file as a GRG file (the program's own format), export it to Microsoft Word, BMP, EMF, and WMF. It is also possible to print it and share it over the Net. This program features a case sensitive GUI that will give us information about the name of the different tools and options (in English or alternative languages) and the name of the notations in Latin. We can drag drop the notes and write the accompanying lyric underneath. The program will adjust the distance between the notes to match the syllables automatically. We can edit our file (cut, copy, paste, delete), select the colors of the notes/lines/text, change fonts and fonts size, etc. Gregoire 1.0 is not beta anymore but a fully released version, which is available in English, Latin, Italian, French, Polish, German, Spanish, Dutch, and Korean. |
