Centering above-lines text

[fiat96]

I'm trying to add some chords above the staff for one of our organists who dislikes reading off of modern notation transcriptions.

It would be great if I could get the chords centered over their note, rather than left-aligned. But as far as I can tell, there is currently no way to do so. I checked the documentation, and also tried to add centering code to \grechangestyle or to the gabc file itself. Nothing's working.

Here's a MWE, without the centering:

\documentclass[]{article}
\usepackage{gregoriotex}
\grechangestyle{abovelinestext}{\color{red}\itshape}
\begin{document}
    \gabcsnippet{(c4) 
    Ro([alt:c]f)rá(gh)te([alt:Eb6]h.) cae(k')li(j) 
    dé(ix[alt:Ab]ji)su(h)per,([alt:F]hg..) (;) 
    et(h) nu(ixi')bes(h) plu([alt:g]gf)ant(e) 
    ju([alt:B♭]fe)stum.([alt:c]d.) <i><b>ij.</b></i>(::)}
\end{document}

Thank you!

There's no way to do what you're asking using the supported tools. The above line text system doesn't support playing around with its position and will always be left-aligned to it's note.

You might be able to trick something into working by turning your score into a gabc file, manually running it through the command line tool, and then further editing the gtex file manually, but that's the kind of solution that's so fragile I don't recommend it unless it's absolutely necessary.

Hi,

I've just re-installed TexLive and GregorioTex after several years without a PC capable of doing anything.

I've tried to recompile some old files and got error on \grestar mainly.

How can I modify my files so they are compatible with GregorioTex 6.0.0 ?

Rdgs, Boris
