8 years ago The Gregorio glyphs were moved into one of the designated private use areas of the Unicode spec in 3.0 (IIRC) so any work around I would expect font hacks like this to be different on either side of the change.
That said, I'm not sure why the Chinese characters would be invading the Gregorio fonts in the first place. Doesn't the Unicode spec have Chinese characters in it? And even if it doesn't, why would luatexja be effecting the Gregorio fonts instead of (or possibly in addition to) the main document font?
In any event, if you can turn the Chinese characters on and off and only need them in the translation, then I would alter the translation style so that the characters get turned on just for that portion of the score. Unfortunately there is not an equivalent for the lyrics, but that's something we could probably add relatively easily.

http://forum.musicasacra.com/forum/discussion/9808/chinese-plainchant-in-gregorio About two years ago around February to April 2014, I had to try to work around a similar issue, with gregorio (2.3-1) running on Ubuntu. I eventually used a self-defined LaTeX command to turn off Chinese (\zhOff) before including a Gregorio chant, and turn it back on afterward, with something like the following:
% LuaTeX-ja for typesetting Chinese \let\printglossary\relax % duplicate definition in "memoir" \usepackage{luatexja-fontspec} % Glyph conflict with Gregorio %\ltjsetparameter{jacharrange={-1, +2, +3, -4, -5, +6, +7, +8}} %%\ltjdefcharrange{10}{"3C06-"3C08} % 㰆 䐤 %\ltjdefcharrange{10}{"3400-"4DBF} % 㰆 䐤 %\ltjsetparameter{jacharrange={-2, -3, -8, -10}}
% U+2014: EM DASH, also used as 破折號, originally in LuaTeX-ja Range 3 % U+2026: … % U+25CB: WHITE CIRCLE, originally in LuaTeX-ja Range 3 \ltjdefcharrange{10}{"2014, "2026, "25CB} \ltjsetparameter{jacharrange={-2, -3, -8}}
\newcommand{\zhOn}{% \ltjsetparameter{jacharrange={-1, -2, -3, -4, -5, +6, +7, -8, +10}}% } \newcommand{\zhOff}{% \ltjsetparameter{jacharrange={-1, -2, -3, -4, -5, -6, -7, -8, -10}}% } Earlier today, I was trying to print a simple-tone Regina Cæli with Chinese translation underneath, but upon adding \uselatex{luatexja} to the example main-lualatex.tex, all square notes and lyrics disappear, though interestingly, the St. Gall neumes (nabc) notations remain. The kludge I used two years ago does not seem to work any more, though perhaps I was doing something wrong.
Anyhow, I was wondering if there are better and hopefully easier ways to keep Gregorio and LuaTeX-ja in harmony? It would also be a nice addition to the website or reference manual for those with this special need, whether it be typesetting Gregorian chant with Chinese/Japanese lyrics/translation, or typesetting Gregorian chant within a Chinese/Japanese book. :-) Many thanks!
