Hello.

Using the Litany of All Saints (https://gregorio-project.github.io/tips/litany.html) as a model, I am trying to transcribe the  Litany of the Sacred Heart of Jesus . Unfortunately, I can’t deal with empty neumes.

My first file: litania1.gabc
There are no empty neumes here; compilation runs without errors. In the gabc file I have 13 signs of “[em1]”, and in the document I have 13 signs of “\>”. For obvious reasons the words overlap.

My second file: litania2.gabc
Here I added two empty neumes, modeled on the second part of the Litany of All Saints. In the gabc file I have 15 signs of “[em1]”, and in the document I have 15 signs of “\>”. Nevertheless, a lot of errors appear during compilation that I cannot handle.

My third file: litania3b.gabc
Here there is one empty neume, but the individual invocations contain many syllables, so sometimes I split one invocation over two lines. There are also errors here that I cannot fix.

I don’t want to change the paper size, the font size, or the margin width.

Please help me remove the errors.

I have had to use \hspace to make this work with the Litany of the BVM

It was much less successful with the other litanies.

But at one point I put on the repository that it still worked with 6.0. Well, not really. It stops compiling with the special tabbing environment; the alignment is essentially \hspace for the second and third scores (I concede that I might be doing something wrong, but it is happening with the litany, which I didn't touch).

LaTeX has a tabbing limit of 13. (This is bad, but we're kind of stuck with it.)

Thanks for your help and suggestions. Here's how I tackled this litany. It's not a masterpiece, but it's good enough for me :)
Best regards, Michał
