Hello,

In the example image here I removed the empty syllable breaks inside words as Gregorio was wrongly adding spaces between syllables, but now I have a situation where the custos is on A instead of G.

(c4) () () Dó(g)mi(fg)ne,(gr0) quis() habitábit() in() taberná<v>-</v>()<i>cu</i>(f)<i>lo</i>(g) <b>tu</b>(hr1 gr)o?(g) <v>\greheightstar</v>(;) Quis(gr0) requiéscet() in() monte() <b>san</b>(hr1 fr)cto(f) <b>tu</b>(gr1 er)o?(e) (::)

Is it possible to have non-printing notes? I figure that would allow the custos to point to the correct note.

Thank you,
Andrew

Sorry I don't have an answer regarding non-printing notes, but you might consider a more condensed layout for the text, which also simplifies the gabc:

%%
(c4) () Dó(g)mi(fg)ne, quis habitábit in taberná(gr0)<i>cu</i>(f)<i>lo</i>(g) <b>tu</b>(hr1 gr)o?(g) <v>\greheightstar</v>(;) Quis requiéscet in monte(gr0) <b>san</b>(hr1 fr)cto(f) <b>tu</b>(gr1 er)o?(e) (::)

With the line break as it appears in your example, many singers would prefer another barred punctum at the beginning of the second line, which would solve the custos problem:

%%
(c4) () Dó(g)mi(fg)ne, quis habitábit in taberná(gr0)<i>cu</i>(f)<i>lo</i>(g) <b>tu</b>(hr1 gr)o?(g) <v>\greheightstar</v>(;) Quis requiéscet(gr0) (z) in monte(gr0) <b>san</b>(hr1 fr)cto(f) <b>tu</b>(gr1 er)o?(e) (::)

Or you can simply specify the line break manually and suppress the custos:

%%
(c4) () Dó(g)mi(fg)ne, quis habitábit in taberná(gr0)<i>cu</i>(f)<i>lo</i>(g) <b>tu</b>(hr1 gr)o?(g) <v>\greheightstar</v>(;) Quis requiéscet(gr0) (z-) in monte() <b>san</b>(hr1 fr)cto(f) <b>tu</b>(gr1 er)o?(e) (::)

Or change it:

%%
(c4) () Dó(g)mi(fg)ne, quis habitábit in taberná(gr0)<i>cu</i>(f)<i>lo</i>(g) <b>tu</b>(hr1 gr)o?(g) <v>\greheightstar</v>(;) Quis requiéscet(gr0) (g+z-) in monte() <b>san</b>(hr1 fr)cto(f) <b>tu</b>(gr1 er)o?(e) (::)

I like the first option but it causes words to spill over the edge:

The other options look good, with the caveat that there's a lot of Antiphons in the project and I was hoping to avoid manual line breaks :) 

Thank you,
Andrew.
